Apple will be the first manufacture a computer with Firewire standard. It's going to be interesting to see what happens as a result in the Windoze world. This is true. However, it's worth pointing out that consumer electronics companies (like Sony) have been using Firewire for things like video cameras, etc, and it doesn't look like there's a competing standard in that arena (maybe it could be something like a home electronics networking standard somewhere down the line? I'm not too familiar with it so I can't say). It's interesting, especially in light of Apple's goal of becoming more like a consumer electronics company. But whether this applies to the new G3/G4's target market I'm not sure. Thoughts?
