What FireWire "fiasco"?
It is used by high end cameras and audio equipment and there was never a lack of hardware support. Every business class Dell laptop that I bought and used up until this year came with it standard.
It was never meant to replace USB. No one ever suggested using FW for mice and keyboards.
Do you think that high end Mac users can't find Thunderbolt devices now?That's all fine and dandy, Karl, except Apple and its users have nothing to do with it this time. This is Intel's screwup failure to get PC makers onboard.
Bottom line: They simply want too damn much for their controller chips - more than the market is willing to bear.
