Why should Apple users care if Windows based PC users use Thunderbolt as long as they can get the hardware support they need?

FW never took off in the PC low end consumer market, but who cares? For people who wanted Windows machines with FW could always buy a business class machine from Dell, HP, Lenovo, or Sony.

Boy this is quite a switch from the fanboys who used to claim Apple INVENTED USB and the only reason PC users got USB peripherals was because Apple users had them first. My guess is in 20 years or so from now, some future Apple fangurl neophyte (probably Gary's grandson) will claim apple and it's user were responsible for the success of Thunderolt. :)

Alan Baker
To the best of my recollection, no one on this group that I have ever read has ever claimed that Apple INVENTED USB.

Flint
And of course, your recollection is not impaired in any way now that Gogle searches are impossible for you, ...right?

Well, wasn't it your claim? That you haven't substantiated? Why yes it was!

Alan is merely saying that he can't remember anyone saying what you claim they are saying. Either you prove your claim or admit that it was indeed false.

because surely you didn't make the claim without first preparing some proof when asked? Right? :)
