The 100W is theoretical. But that assumes you have the spare power overhead in the device you wish to draw it from.
It seems unlikely that manufacturers would automatically build in such an overhead given increased costs and power supply sizes. Though I can see certain products making it a selling point, i.e. a docking monitor for business laptops.

I believe once the ports and cables become commonplace, manufacturers will build in the overhead (at least on certain ports). The advantage of powering the device via the USB port isn't just the convenience. It means you can use the computer's PSU to act as the AC/DC converter, instead of needing a separate AC adapter power brick for each peripheral.

After 20+ years of being a tehnician, I suddenly realized recently that current USB ports are actually standard on 99% of computers. The hollow part of the connector is always facing up on the motherboard, even on laptops. Now that I know this, I always get it right! It's handy when reaching in the back of a computer under a desk and trying to blindly hook up a usb cable. I have no idea why I didn't notice this sooner.

As for this taking over, I think its great. Europe has already set a date for a standard of ALL Phones to have the same connector by 2017. It looks like, every phone in Europe will be using this.
@Christopher1 Every computer inserts the USB Socket up one way or down the other, so you don't know which one they are using. The cable doesn't matter its the non-standard socket that is the problem!

1 GB/s is slower than 10Gb/s
10 Gb/s is equal to 1.25 GB/s
Theoretically, the USB-IF told us, USB SuperSpeed could actually hit speeds in excess of 1 GB/s (that's with a capital "B," mind you), but Ravencraft said that blazing-fast speeds aren't necessary or even practical for most everyday uses. For general consumer products out there today, he said, "SuperSpeed 10 Gb/s is more than enough performance for the everyday user."

Good catch. (You, and others.) There was a misunderstanding when I spoke with the USB-IF, and then I got my wires crossed on the speeds. I checked in with them again to get the correct information, and I've updated the article accordingly.
