| | | well, in the USB1 vs FW400 days it was kind of a no brainier for any kind of high bandwidth application to use FW. Apple being heavily behind the spec initially had alot to with their push in the to the AV (mostly video) space early on. Though after USB two came around the bandwidth war kind of ended, even between USB2 and FW800... yes FW800 is faster, but their both faster in most scenarios, and USB has enough perks as far as usability and market penetration that it kind of took hold. The exception to that being applications that want FW for more technical reasons that aren't really bandwidth limited (audio stuff). the concept of a push pull bus, as opposed to a purely poll based buss, which has connotations to latency etc. Though even FW lets down though with truly tough requirements, which is why you don't see to much high end AV equipment with FW connections. they've moved to HD-SDI for video, and pci(32,64,x,e) for raw audio multi-track capture
