An anonymous reader writes "Apple will reportedly soon make an announcement regarding a new high-speed connection technology. And as luck would have it, this comes hot on the heels of a report that Apple will release a slew of new MacBook Pros later this week. For some time now, reports have abounded detailing Apple and Intel's cooperation on a new transfer technology dubbed Light Peak capable of transferring data at 10GB/s both up and down. Could this find its way into Apple's new lineup of MacBook Pros as has been previously rumored?"

Bullshit from somebody who doesn't remember correctly.
The main push for USB adoption came with the release of Windows 98, released in May of 1998.
The iMac was released in August of 1998 and although it was one of the best selling Macs of all time, it is largely insignificant compared to the hundreds of millions of Windows machines sold at the same time.
