If we have to replace it by an expensive Mac Pro in the future, this will certainly have negative consequences when people hesitate between Macs and Windows PCs for the installation of the application we produce. And the size of the “server” will also in many cases be a problem for our customers which was until now nicely addressed by the Mac mini.
