You mean other then the problem of having to run Windows?  Personally I
could care less about whether or not things "work" with Windows. 
Windows is far too static to be of any consequence in the grand scheme of
things.  The above says nothing on the issue of whether things REALLY work
or not.

Interesting.  However I'd like to see there be no cables whatsoever. 
Coming up with a new cable, adapters, etc. is just another good reason to
get rid of cables altogether.

You can have all the CD/DVD drives in the world.  Take them all please!!!  :-)
