once they stop producing machines with power supplies and motherboards that dont comply to ATX standards.
You cant really moan about "global" standards when you attempt to make something as simple as an ATX PSU a Dell proprietry (sp?) device by flipping wires around.

Arf!
He's possibly the most overrated name in gaming. He's had literally millions of dollars thrown at him since his iD departure..... and we have Daikatana and Hyperspace Delivery Boy. Kewl!
Romero will always take a battering in reviews etc, he's high profile and mainly for the wrong reasons. Charging around preaching things like "Design is law" is like putting your head on the chopping block.
Its a nice mantra, but theres only so long you can use it before someone wants to actually see it in action.
Still waiting.......
