    Finally?

    Apple has had FireWire on its systems for a while... Where are the other PC manufacturers?

    Bitching about Apple, and how it is going to die, of course.

    Apple's Advantage

    FireWire has been one of the biggest strengths of Apple's computers for the past few years. Even a PC with a FireWire PCI card can't really compare to a Mac with FireWire on the motherboard. With the release of XP, PC makers are going to start taking FireWire more seriously. We may see it appear on PC motherboards or the Arapahoe standard may make the PCI performance hit disappear. Either way, Apple's advantage here won't last much longer. It will be nice to see a lot more FireWire devices start to appear and prices go down but Apple needs to get working on the next big thing. When you've only got 5% of the industry, you better make sure it's the top 5%.
