This is just a rant... But going through some mobo BIOS issues (in my other forum thread posts).

 

Does it surprise anyone that MSI takes the stance they "do not support other OSes except Windows"?  Maybe all (most??) motherboard manufacturers take the same stance from a support standpoint.

 

I do still like the hardware...

 

 

 

I agree, and MSI seem worse than the bigger brands in terms of web based support for their products.  My small HTPC is an MSI box, and it works great, but I'd challenage anyone to try to find detailed information about the machine or its similar brethren on their site.  They have only very light marketing material.  Biostar are similarly light when it comes to the details.  It's probably the main reason that I stick with Asus, Asrock and Gigabyte for motherboards.
