It's about time that your computer can talk to your peripherals without the nest of dust-laden cables you got behind your desk. You go back there and there's some doritos, french fries, dead bugs; you know what I'm talking about. That's why you avoid upgrades where you actually have to open the case, or you give up on your desktop entirely and get yourself a laptop, or one of those huge "desktop replacement" laptops. Now if only they would come out with wireless wall/ceiling mounted speakers so I don't have to go and run cables through my attic.
Interesting to note the section talking about the forthcoming Microsoft Zune and how it will have built in wi-fi to enable sharing with other Zune's. Ohhhh yeahhh..
