Operating System support USB 3.0


In November 2008, held, "SuperSpeed" Developers Conference, Microsoft announced Windows 7 to provide support for USB 3.0, but not the initial release, but later released patches in Service Pack1. Not only Windows 7, or Vista is also likely to support SuperSpeed ", of course, if Microsoft is willing to. At least look at Microsoft's many partners still hope to support usb 3.0 expresscard in Vista.

As Windows XP is still unknown, XP, after all, the product is already 7 years ago, so, support it or not I am afraid that is not so important.

Open-source systems, Linux supports a clear USB 3.0, provided that the expansion of the main controller interface (xHCI) specification was released. 0.95 non-public version, or a pending draft.

Apple connection, in accordance with the "practice" is still whether to support the MacOS X "SuperSpeed USB" to remain silent on the issue. However, once the USB 3.0 USB 2.0 as fulfilled as the "plug and play" the market a lot of "SuperSpeed" equipment will be springing up like normal.

As for the Firewire signal interference problem exists, it is not known, but any case, Apple needs to support "SuperSpeed", if everyone is optimistic about the words of the interface standard.

At first, the USB 3.0 support, no matter the operating system or device, certainly not in one step. Initially simple trial on small devices, then the existence of such kind of problems, and will not give full play to the advantage of USB 3.0. However, as time goes on, these will be gradually perfected.
