Jozef, The primary objective of the new initiatives has been to corner the market, and do so with half baked ideas such as constantly changing (now proprietary) socket definitions, AGP, MMX, MMX 2, SSE, USB, now RDRAM etc. So do you mean, for example, that USB is a half-baked idea? Or do you mean that increasing the speed of USB without affecting its operation with existing devices is a half-baked idea? And when did Intel change the socket definition for USB? I don't recall the pinouts changing? Or should they have used FireWire, (which seems to be proprietary as well, but not to Intel)? John
