I’m happily using my FireWire 800 port on my 2007 MacBook Pro. I don’t really have a problem with the competition. (What’s nice for Apple is that this port isn’t exactly risky for them. If it doesn’t succeed their Macs have a glorified Mini DisplayPort with a lighting bolt symbol next to it. It might cost a bit more for them to add but that’s about it. It seems to me that only Intel has a problem if this fails.)
