If Apple had a new version of the Mac Pro around the corner, then they probably wouldn't bother release an update/redesign of the existing version in order to meet new EU laws.
Which is fairly likely, a Cook-sent email stated pretty much that last year: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1383915
> Although we didn't have a chance to talk about a new Mac Pro at today's event, don't worry as we're working on something really great for later next year. We also updated the current model today.
(emphasis mine)
Sure, I may be reading too much into 'really great', but I can't stop reading this stuff in Jobs voice.
The Mac Pro's demise is fast becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. IT departments shouldn't have to plan their purchasing based on some vague statement from Tim Cook.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
> I bet there's a new Mac Pro around the corner.
Not exactly a big bet, Tim Cook officially stated exactly that last June.
