Actually I'm not so sure it's going to catch on, at least not very quickly. Everybody has plenty of USB peripherals they can just plug into a USB 3 port. If everything switched to Thunderbolt, there goes all those peripherals. _________________________ Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!® twitter.com/SgtBaxter facebook.com/Bryan.Eckert

Just thought there has to be a software / firmware, to support it? ? Anyway if MS wants to keep its USB approach it will. _________________________

Yes, along with the hardware necessary to use it that needs to be developed by the hardware manufacturers, MS would need to develop drivers for it, you're right. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
