That is one story. I've heard one similar story (about ASUS support, 
nothing to do with OSS) in Australia.

That's two stories.

My own experience with ASUS motherboards has been good; I generally buy 
cheapies.

I've had bad experiences with Intel (specs rather than support issues, 
I'd likely not buy one new), Gigabyte (try _them_ for support! I can't 
even update my BIOS), PC-Chips.

My next mobo will probably be ASUS. I have a choice of chipsets (so can 
avoid Intel). Unless it's VIA (for Nehemia and his mates).
