Whats that old saying. "build it and they will come".
All new technology had to start somewhere and the ones that have the potential for upgrades will survive in the long run. Thunderbolt (copper version of Light Peak) has just started to appear and has vast possibilities. As was stated Light Peak using fiber can scale to 100Gbs and over longer distances then the copper Thunderbolt. Thunderbold at present can run PCIe 2.0 and Display Port protocols but can be implemented to run USB and other protocols so with the right implementation most current peripherals can run over a Light Peak circuit thought a small hub type interface. The design is very adaptable and the speed is awesome which I believe will make it a success, but time will tell. I give it a Thumbs Up.
