USB has definitely won the format war, as far as widespread distribution is concerned. It is easy, it is inexpensive, every computer comes with it pre-installed. But unlike other format wars (Blue-Ray vs. HD-DVD), the winner doesn’t get to eliminate the loser in this battle. FireWire just keeps hanging on and getting better.
