> Is USB 3 planned? Do plans get talked about without approval from some near the top of the hierarchy since Oracle took over?
If I wanted to guess, I'd find out about availability of chipset support, based on successors to the chipsets Sun/Oracle uses now, along with it likely not being all that high priority insofar as enterprise servers probably wouldn't be using fast USB devices (mostly storage and/or video) much. Assuming USB 3 really catches on (not that widespread yet, AFAIK), it might have to happen eventually, perhaps not until it was easier/cheaper to find a chipset with USB 3 support than without. Perhaps if there were a successor to the Ultra 27 workstation (which I wonder about since it's hard to find on the web site, since desktops aren't a top-level item and it's not listed under desktops anymore), it might happen sooner. But that's just my guessing strategy. I doubt anyone who knows would be allowed to tell you until there's an official announcement. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ desktop-discuss mailing list desktop-discuss@opensolaris.org
