Don't pay any attention to the riser connector whatsoever. Computer
manufcaturers will just use whatever comes in handy, is cheap and plentiful.
So of course they will use common connectors which they will have in store and
sort out the actual expansion slots on the daughterboard.

I just think it's sad that there is no standard for slimline motherboards and
their risers. I wouldn't mind being able to put together flat desktops or
really thin towers out of standard components, but as long as there is no
standard form factor, everything home-made will have to be bloated tower of
some kind.
