As I thought about this some more, this is the selling point - the included Server OS in a $1000 box: it's a heck of a lot more expensive to get an xserve. This is a very inexpensive way for a small business
that wants SL Server in the door. It may be a small market, but they may have opened the door to SL Sever just a little.
As for the media server stuff, I think that's coming from Apple next year, just not in this box.
