Wrong, your Honour - for once, the procedure of introducing the USB has
not been an imposture of any would-be monopolist firms (like
"Centronics" and game ports) but has been discussed for a long time in
due and public form in the standards bodies, and all specifications are
public since quite some time.
In fact, it may be just this public standards quality which made for
the long time it took to make it "USB-city all over": some of the "big
players" had been rather reticent to adapt. The "U"niversal has been
meant to be taken seriously, and thus there should be - for the first
time - a real standard for interconnectivity of peripherals; the same
scanner should work with an INTEL machine as well as with a Mac. Well,
let's see who keeps to the standards ...
For the same reason, I'm not so pessimistic about the availability of
OS and driver adaptions; patience, they'll come, or are in the
pipeline already.
