Windows users are not going to like Thunderbolt until Microsoft fixes the Windows drivers. (Hint: Thunderbolt is 5 years old, the drivers still don't work. Don't hold your breath.) If you can't plug in a device reliably on an external connection it is pretty much useless. Maybe sometime after that motherboard vendors will stop hobbling the interface chips. Thunderbolt pretty well rocks on OS X. I wonder what the state of Linux is. And I mean really is. I still have corrupted MP3s in my library from Linux's firewire support. It almost always put the blocks in the right spot on the disk. (This was in the 90s or early 00s, must be better now, probably.)
