“Contrary to a report by CNET News.com yesterday, Apple is not planning a distinct Cluster Node version of the Xeon-based Xserve,” MacNN reports.
“Both ZDNet and CNET News.com, which ran reports yesterday on the October introduction of Cluster Node version of Apple’s Intel-Xserve, have pulled their respective articles without any correction notice or explanation.
