When you install 2000/XP with certain IDE/SCSI controllers, don't you still need to use a floppy driver to recognize your drives. I know for sure there are still controllers that need the driver during setup, and I don't think it gives you any option but to put in a floppy.

So that right there is something that will have to change. Surely the floppy is not yet dead for technical reasons, but these are pretty minor bumps to cross for the ultimate phase out.
