This appears to add further evidence that Apple may be considering changing the name of the PowerMac to "Mac Pro" in the near future. Apple rebranded the PowerBook in January to the "MacBook Pro" and subsequently dropped the iBook name in favor of "MacBook".
Steve Jobs had indicated that they were moving away from the "Power" name when the MacBook Pro was first announced:
It's a new name [MacBook Pro] because we're kinda done with 'Power' and because we want 'Mac' in the name of our products."

Indeed it makes sense... Don't really like the new names all that much though.

I really hope they do because it kinda feels like there is a desktop missing... I know there is the iMac but... it feels to consumer oriented... I kinda want that middle ground between the G5 and the iMac.. maybe the GMac. Just kidding.
But more so something that is tower like with upgradibility and a higher processor than the iMac but not a workstation processor like the G5.
I personally think "ProMac" flows better than "Mac Pro," but whatever.
When I first saw this thread a minutes ago I thought the exact same thing. - It will still have Mac in its name. - MacPro just doesn't sound right.
