Bluetooth has not been embraced by PC makers, it is just an option. BT 2.0 will not change this as Intel and other major players have with the introduction of Wireless USB effectively killed all the long-time interest in BT. Since WLAN already is firmly in place for network access, BT got squeezed from that angle as well. The BT promotors have had essentially all the misfortunes you can have, from slow and buggy implementations to the birth of competing technologies created by their own allies! Nice but too late.

Dell, for example, offer Bluetooth 2.0 upgrades to their equivalent laptops. Just to clarify, they aren’t the first to offer Bluetooth 2.0, just [possibly] the first to offer it standard.
