I still have so many ISA-Cards here and a plethora of PCI cards. But there are no ISA slots anymore and normal PCI becomes rare. So I shall buy the same functionality again as PCIe for twice the money. Especially ridiculous is then using a serial interface on PCIe which will surely overload the bandwidth capacity of PCIe...
In any event do you really think your whining about ISA cards will get you any traction here? I mean really technology moves forward.
So USB is widespead, it works everywhere, it is quite compatible with itself and by now seems to be relatively troublefree. USB3 offers good rates for mass media, for nearly everything else USB2 or even USB1 (mouse, keyboard) seems to be enough.
So why Thunderbolt? (Of course it is good when it works in the kernel once it is there but generally spoken...)
