On the other hand if you compare USB 1.0 to 1.1 it is quite obvious that real implementation experience and throwing out artifacts of the design by committee was quite important for the success.

This sounds like it has some interesting history there; do you have any recommended sources to read about the transition between USB 1.0 and 1.1?

(Although the campaign wasn't specific to USB.) https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2009/05/intel_ad_campaign_remakes_rese.html https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2009/05/intel_ad_campaig...
