It's branded as a thumb drive killer, but thumb drives can force vendors separated by walls of apathy and decades of time to be compatible with each other. Does this have enough standardization / cross-manufacturer buy-in to make it likely to spread? Or is it an Intel "differentiator" where it will only ever work if you have two Intel laptops in a world where Intel is losing laptop marketshare? Target Disk Mode for Intel? The heavy feature-set makes me worry that this is the reality and that standardization is a pipe dream.
