The recent Blade.org announcement heralds that IBM and Intel are looking to standardize blade hardware designs, allowing blade systems from multiple vendors to work together. It's no surprise that Intel is interested in this -- its own ATX standard has been a massive success. This article looks at the history of ATX and some of the lessons learned about power supply and chassis standardization.

I'd also remove:
- get rid of 8086,80286 compatibility (who needs them, anyway)
- remove crappy A20
- remove real mode completely
- add protected mode BIOS services instead
- remove PS/2 ports and replace them with USB
- leave serial and parallel ports only as an option
