Especiall...I think it's definitely a potential. Especially if Whirlwind plays their cards right. Sawstop is doing the same thing that IBM did back in the 80's with Micro-channel architecture by making competition pay hefty licensing fees. Intel went and invented PCI and made it free for all. Now IBM doesn't compete in that arena any more.<br /><br />It's bound to happen and competition is healthy for the industry :) Sawstop better watch out or they may find themselves waking up to the same fate.Pickering Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04330375782532178914noreply@blogger.com
