I think people are missing the point of supporting this much wattage as a USB-IF standard. There are already 130W power supplies from Dell, so it's going to happen with or without standardization, and I'd rather it happen with. It's also not just laptops that might be powered by this. The article mentions all-in-one computers like Mac might use this, and I could imagine it replacing those awful AC adapters used on monitors with no internal power supply.
