1. Doesn't Microsoft have this technology? I haven't seen any first hand reports/benchmarks but what I've heard is that it's tolerable (taking into account how pokey all the non-Apple ARM chips are). And if Apple are making their own chips, I wonder if they could do something to improve emulation performance (special instructions, separate cache etc) 2. From our perspective this is the deal breaker, but the question is how much Apple cares about us. 3. Intel has said they're opening Thunderbolt since the start, they finally donated it to the USB IF and supposedly you're seeing it on some AMD-chip motherboards now
