Microsoft announced that Windows 7 would have USB 3.1 Gen 1 support, perhaps not on its immediate release, but in a subsequent ServicePack or update. It is not out of the question to think that following a successful release of USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 support in Windows 7,SuperSpeed support would trickle down to Vista. Microsoft has confirmed this by stating that most of their partners share the opinion thatVista should also support USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1.USB Type-CUSB Type-C is a new, tiny physical connector. The connector itself can support various exciting new USB standards like USB 3.1 and USBpower delivery (USB PD).Alternate ModeUSB Type-C is a new connector standard that is very small. It is about a third the size of an old USB Type-A plug. This is a single connectorstandard that every device should be able to use. USB Type-C ports can support a variety of different protocols using “alternate modes,”which allows you to have adapters that can output HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort, or other types of connections from that single USB portUSB Power DeliveryThe USB PD specification is also closely intertwined with USB Type-C. Currently, smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices often usea USB connection to charge. A USB 2.0 connection provides up to 2.5 watts of power — that'll charge your phone, but that's about it. Alaptop might require up to 60 watts, for example. The USB Power Delivery specification ups this power delivery to 100 watts. It's bi-directional, so a device can either send or receive power. And this power can be transferred at the same time the device is transmittingdata across the connection.This could spell the end of all those proprietary laptop charging cables, with everything charging via a standard USB connection. You couldcharge your laptop from one of those portable battery packs you charge your smartphones and other portable devices from today. Youcould plug your laptop into an external display connected to a power cable, and that external display would charge your laptop as you usedit as an external display — all via the one little USB Type-C connection. To use this, the device and the cable have to support USB PowerDelivery. Just having a USB Type-C connection doesn't necessarily mean they do.USB Type-C and USB 3.1USB 3.1 is a new USB standard. USB 3's theoretical bandwidth is 5 Gbps, while USB 3.1's is 10 Gbps. That's double the bandwidth, as fastas a first-generation Thunderbolt connector. USB Type-C isn't the same thing as USB 3.1. USB Type-C is just a connector shape, and theunderlying technology could just be USB 2 or USB 3.0. In fact, Nokia's N1 Android tablet uses a USB Type-C connector, but underneath it'sall USB 2.0 — not even USB 3.0. However, these technologies are closely related.Thunderbolt over Type-CThunderbolt is a hardware interface that combines data, video, audio, and power in a single connection. Thunderbolt combines PCI Express(PCIe) and DisplayPort (DP) into one serial signal, and additionally provides DC power, all in one cable. Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2 usethe same connector as miniDP (DisplayPort) to connect to peripherals, while Thunderbolt 3 uses a USB Type-C connector.12 Technology and components
