Fat Pipeline, No Spigot
If I may continue to harp on a point (it hardly seems worth linking my last
post, but what the hey) it would seem that Intel has stepped up to make
Linux the first operating system to support USB 3.0.  If you're of the ilk
that compile your own operating system kernel, you can get it any time you
like...

The point I wish to harp upon is that while Linux may now support the data
interface to get bits from your devices to your computer and back, your
devices aren't going to work with Linux anyway.  So, congratulations on the
press coverage guys, but how about having a chat with Canon and getting 
some support for my camera?  Until you get the device support, you've built
the digital equivalent of an 18-lane freeway to Coalville, Utah.

P.S.  Don't miss the comment at the bottom of the link: "No hardware ...
      but Linux supports it!"

      Linux... hardware.  Okaaaay.
