do we really need such test? we all know what MS is capable of, the only thing now is
that they would be more hesistant of using those "powers" because of the anti-trust
case they are now facing.
i have read technical comparisons of firewire and usb. the reason usb put out the 2.0
specs is to make USB a better competitor the technically superior firewire. the only
problem firewire faces in the PC platform is the availability of firewire ports, Apple
is a strenous advocate of firewire. how many PC mobos do you see with firewire
built-in? 'yan lang ang lamang ngayon ng USB. i think.
