I wonder how long it might take for this to take off, though, honestly, I don't see there being THAT huge of barriers to entry. As we saw during the transition from AT to ATX, I can see motherboards and PSUs with both connectors for a while, since they can easily coexist, and it's not a huge hurdle to support both at once, so I don't see as much risk of this remaining an OEM (or extremely niche) thing as most other standards that have come out recently.. ITX will almost certainly be either the first or the last to go with solely the 12V connectors, since there's just not the space to put both that and the existing 24 pin ATX connector. ITX will probably be the last to switch over since there just isn't space for two sets of connectors, so manufacturers would probably be loathe to switch until the standard is firmly entrenched. or they could surprise us all, and someone will release a motherboard with 12 volt only right away making sure PSUs are available to save some board space, but that's a risky move.
