Xserve G5s Delayed
An official statement released to Macworld says: "We've received an incredible amount of customer interest for the new Xserve G5 1U rack-mount server since it was announced at Macworld Expo in January 2004.
"We're working hard to start shipping the new Xserve systems in March 2004, not by the end of February as originally announced."
No reasons regarding the delays has been given, but speculation suggests the same issues may have delayed a PowerMac G5 (970FX) upgrade.

(View all)Oh well, I guess March isn't too far off their delivery schedule. But these delays are starting to get annoying...
The actual delay on the machines is not a big issue as I'm not in a positon to buy one right away. My interest actually revolves around engineering problems and how they are resolved.
Thanks

Man, can't Apple deliver in volume just once on time?!? Maybe if Jobs didn't do his who razzmatazz 'oooh ahhh' thing and just churned out we wouldn't have these things happen.
Right now the only thing that would ooh and aah me is being at WWDC seeing product X announced and seeing 4 tractor traillers outside loaded heavy with the beasts for delivery.
What bothers me is that we may never know for sure what the QC issue is or was.
what's that with the "QC issue"? sounds mysterious. could you explain?
