Well, I did notice that at first there were only 2 chipsets to choose from, now there are 4. So there is progress. If I worked there, I would have installed phpBB forums and a Bugzilla in one day, because that would bring what customers want in no-time. But for VIA, having pictures of cute asian girls on websites appears to be a must, and these are not distributed with phpBB and Bugzilla. This is probably an idea from marketing.
It would be nice if they'd realize that we check VIA's website to find drivers, forums and a bug tracking system. If we want cute girls, a hardware manufacturers website is about the last place to look.
I'd like to tell that to VIA, but their forum is still not on-line, so interaction between company and customer - the primary purpose of the whole open-source approach - is not possible. I guess they're too busy with the selection of pictures of girls to put on the web page.
