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

Over half of the overall increase comes from a huge increase in "Disorderly Conduct/Disturbing the Peace" (> 6x), and "Criminal Trespass" (> 3x). Those two categories plus a similar growth buried in "All
