There are no special features added to Mac OS X Server so that I could accept to pay the full price once again. Maybe half the price would be enough (around $300)!

Yea, I'm seriously pissed about this. But, what ya gonna do? I am *NOT* upgrading for a while now. There is now way I can afford $3k for the updates that it brings. For that price I could by the Xserve and replace 2 of my machines with it. I guess I'm gonna wait to see what 10.3 or &gt; has to offer before I upgrade. The new additions in OSXS 10.2 are just not worth it for what I do.

definitely not for a server environment. Keep 10.1 Server and be merry.
