[citation][nom]mister g[/nom]Either way this was already commented on nearly a week ago, I gorgot the tile but it was basically the same idea. I think that the government and businesses will keep VGA despite the benefits of DVI because they have such old gear they want to use (despite the fact that said gear will cost them in the power bill if not upfront cost). I read in an article somewhere that the Justice Department(US) had just finished migrating all of their PCs of IE5! Guesss how old their other gear ought to be![/citation]
Well, they also have enough to make wholes out of spare parts. Most major IT departments keep spare parts around. You would hope a few of those $40,000 toilet seats I bought would pay for a few IT storage rooms.
I'm sure monitor manufacturers will support VGA for a few years after the video card manufacturers stop, just for legacy hardware.
But, seriously, there needs to be either a switch to a higher-bandwidth HDMI, or just standardizing display port for all video.
