They didn't kill it.

They know it's a bit of a joke, so they lowered prices.

Let's go with "Glass Half Full" and say that this signifies that they wanted to keep it warm while they work out the how's and why's of TB on a PCIE GPU.

It isn't dead people, would be much worse if it was.

W3520 - $294
W3565 - $583
W3680 - $999

E5620 - $387
X5650 - $996
X5670 - $1,440

February 2011 onwards:

So actually a Mac Pro with Intel's $600 defunct Xeon is now $2,999 instead of $2,899. Price increase really.
