AAPL's uses industry device standards - conversion sales easier

AAPL can provide a superior PowerPC box with the OS and the former Winteller can keep his USB , PCI and AGP peripherals . AAPL's advantage is Rhapsody permits the quick writing of device drivers .

Solves the problem with the Universal Serial Bus (USB) which is writing the device drivers for each peripheral's specs to match each desktop's USB , plus a network desktop USB driver must match the server's .

AAPL has been gravitating toward peripheral standardization since adding PCI slots . Potential system customers do not like throwing away peripheral devices which currently work .

Great news for competitive marketing to large accounts .

Ideally the Mac's keyboard/mouse will port standardized and keep any unique features in its OS .
