现在是1997年5月,你知道有些夸张的PC技术目前身处何方吗? 你的耳朵里或许充斥着许多这样的专业术语:USB(通用串型总线)、PNP(即插即用)、FireWire、DMI(桌面管理界面)、CardBus以及桌面电源管理……。过去它们一直被认为将面向最终用户,象开关电源一样受到普通用户的使用。但自从1994年创建以来,它们离业者的理想已经越来越远,更进一步的标准、业者的争论以及产品的延迟,不断将这些技术推向远离最终用户的方向。计划采购这类产品而心怀不满的IT管理者,必须找到一些方法为这些支离破碎的承诺祈祷。 Now that May 1997, do you know where some exaggerated PC technology is currently located? Your ears may be filled with many of these buzzwords: USB, PNP, FireWire, , DMI (Desktop Management Interface), CardBus, and desktop power management .... In the past they have been considered to be for the end user, like the same as the switching power supply by ordinary users. However, since their inception in 1994, their vision of becoming more and more distant, further standards, disputes among industry players and product delays have pushed these technologies away from the end user. IT executives planning to source such products and displeasure must find ways to pray for these fragmented promises.
