Good point but lets face it. Intel is a control freak.
USB=Intel
Firewire=Apple

What else would you expect Intel to do but promote inferior technology. After all, they came up with the idea of being policeman via the cpu-ID.

Louis - Re: "I wish INTC would drop the USB 2.0 idea and let FireWire be incorporated instead."

Why don't you post the ROYALTIES that Apple Computer wants everyone to PAY for EACH Firewire Port on EACH PC and EACH Device using that port ?

Then you will know why Intel is developing USB 2.0
