A list of recommended products may help you, but would not help the user list at large. They will continue to accidentally buy the wrong hardware from the wrong vendors. It would be a tremendous burden on us to keep such a list up-to-date. I'm sorry. At least I am saying that I personally will not be involved in maintaining such a list. > However, I still think it may very well be effective to keep contacting > Intel.

Private letters can help, but quite frankly I believe that publically displaying the arrogance of people from companies who like (Like James did) works better. At least, in the past when we have been very loud in their mailboxes those people have succeeded escalated things inside their companies and things have improved. Not always. But it has been more effective than any other action. (Except for one case -- those vendors who we were able to convince privately. Intel would not be here if that had been the case. We have entirely exhausted our desire to waste any more time with private discussion. You don't keep saying nice puppy to a giant dog that is knawing at your leg).
