100? I'll believe it when I see it until then they are full of it.
[QUOTE=Sockpuppetss;28261297]wow this will probably not catch on because of the fact that things connecting by USB are so standard. Like making another thing just doesn't make much sense, despite the speed increase.[/QUOTE]
As I understand it, Thunderbolt is not primarily intended to replace USB.
USB replaced a crap load of low-speed connectors that were around before it, and became the standard connector for most stuff.
Thunderbolt is intended to do the same for high-speed connectors, such as eSATA, Firewire, Ethernet and maybe USB3, but that's not the main purpose of it.
[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;28261059]I don't even have USB 2.0.[/QUOTE]
I don't even have a cable :saddowns:
Nice to see Apple adopt it, but when are other PC manufacturers going to start making gear with it?
If I remember right, it took them a while to adopt USB after Apple started shipping gear with it (I remember a magazine cover talking about a shocking new computer design that didn't include serial ports!)
"Intel claims that future versions will be able to reach 100 Gb/sec."

Who uses eSATA. Seriously I've never seen it being used in my life.
