From what I heard it may have some kind of "cluster" software where multiple macs can be connected via firewire (I guess), to share resources, CPU, etc.
I have a laptop connected to a cine display and want to get a new G5 when they are updated (?) but don't want to loose the two monitors which is what would happen if I plug the G5 to the cine. I asked someone who should know and they said "soon" this software rewritten by Apple is coming out that is simlar to software that was used to connect the G5 X-Serve super computer, well over a hundred G5s clustered (maybe a thousand) at that university not long ago. This will make it possible to fully control the G5 from my laptop.
Maybe it will have m-LAN too, that would be sweet, although I think m-LAN needs hardware.
