The basic components that make up a PC have changed little since the first IBM PC AT over 20 years ago. From the BIOS to serial ports and hard drive cables, we are still tied to legacy components. This situation has had the seemingly contradictory result of limiting the PC industry while at the same time fostering innovation by creating a stable platform to build from. There are now technologies in the works that will largely allow us to move away from the IBM PC AT legacy [InformationWeek][via Slashdot]. While you guys are in the process of removing legacy components from PC's, can you get rid of the PC fan as well? I would greatly appreciate a quieter work area. 10:50:19 AM    comment []
