    A lot of them genuinely ran Mac OS Server back when that was a thing. Probably some that still run macOS, but now most probably just run Linux.

      I ran a cluster of XServes back in the day. Probably some of the most well engineered hardware I had seen since Solaris Sparc’s in the 90’s. That said, the software stack didn’t perform well. Ever. Way too much overhead.

      Now that is interesting. I know Windows Server exists for small enterprises, but I didn’t think MacOS Server would be something used for larger enterprises. Figured Apple would’ve used AIX in the days of yore.
