Interesting. JBoss will be prepacked with the 10.3 release of OS X. This definitely gives more legitimacy to JBoss. But I don’t see it really giving that great of a value in OS X. How many people actually use OS X in a server? And if I was using JBoss, I’d rather go with Linux, which is free, than OS X, which costs $499 for 10 clients. Now, if it came with free support for JBoss, then that might be of some value.
