I used to build my own PC's back then, and I could see the USB revolution coming. I waited, and waited, and waited... It took years for most PC motherboards to adopt USB. The complete lack of innovation in the PC market is frustrating. They're still mainly huge, ugly, trash can size devices.
Now, there's another great connector standard from Intel (Thunderbolt), and it basically gets almost no attention in the race to the bottom PC world.
The need to support legacy and not adopt newer technologies, form factors, etc, really hurts the PC markets. If just 10% of this market adopted the Apple "screw legacy and give me great design", we'd get a lot cooler PC's.
