Well, it is that time of the year again, but with a few changes. No Steve Jobs keynote and probably no new products, just refreshes and updates. I can understand Apple not wanting to have to have something to launch on a regular schedule and doing it during someone else's event. They've been moving towards special events for all of their recent product launches anyway.
Kind of sad that I never got to attend a Macworld, but I've never worked at a Macintosh-focused company either, nor specifically in the IT world.
