<< Would you want a robust 10Mbps link or a quirkier 1Mbps? >> well, when you put it that way... :-) i agree that 10Mbps is really what's needed, though 1Mbps is "good enough" to allow for sharing the DSL offerings that RBOCs are pushing. << M$FT primarily wants interoperability. >> there are multiple goals: - make it more attractive for households to buy 2nd PCs - make cost of high-speed links more palatable by facilitating sharing among home PCs - drive technology to facilitate networking among non-PC "smart" appliances in the home (e.g. IP telephones) - interoperability all this to drive more unit sales of MS operating systems and e-commerce. you really dislike MSFT, eh?
