My concern with this move is that they aren't moving to DisplayPort, but their own proprietary Mini DisplayPort. All this is going to do is further complicate the video connector landscape, rather then moving to simplify it.

I'm curious what Apple is doing to allow VGA out of that port as well. From what I can tell, normal DisplayPort doesn't carry any analog information like DVI could. I'm also puzzled over the $100 adaptor for dual link DVI, vs the $29 for normal DVI or VGA.
