Isn't the attraction of Firewire over USB the reduced overhead on system resources? 4-odd Gbps is great but not if everything else runs like a snail on Valium. Doesn't e-SATA have a reduced overhead too in comparison to USB-2? Would like to see some real world figures on comparative resource use.
What an awesome marketing ploy. If people are pirating software, make sure it's YOUR software. After all, when certain markets emerge later on and open up to the west, all of them will be MS compatible. Also, how many people have pirated software and then gone on to download the genuine article later on when they've 'tested' it thoroughly. Also, those pirated software users won't be eligible for updates. There is enough scare-mongering on the net to make getting the full legit version an attraction for the serious end user.
