The reason I like PCI over ISA, is not because of mass marked nor MS competition, it is for techincal reasons. ISA have no reliable way to query cards about their identity, and a flaky way to extract operational parameters, while PCI make it possible to reliably detect and configure the HW in the machine. > Perhaps after Beta-1 some of those people most affected by it will > raise the cry and maybe somone among them will have the time to do > it.
