USB is a built-in feature of most PC chip sets, as well as operating system and other system software, which does not significantly affect PC prices. By eliminating add-in cards and separate power supplies, USB can help make PC peripheral devices more affordable. In addition, USB’s “hot-swapping” capability allows users to easily attach and detach peripherals. Device sharing can reduce the cost of ownership of such equipment.
