OK, if you're so smart, explain to me, if it's a fully open non-

routinely provide firewire ports are the ones who created the
standard?
Not really disagreeing, but Firewire is standard on Asus laptops, too.
I believe one reason it is not standard on all machines is the simple
fact that USB 2 provides the same speed and is supported by more
add-ons. Firewire seems to be much better suited to all sorts of
streaming (Audio/Video), yet it may be more expensive to implement than
USB 2.
