High Performers in HP and Zotac

The simplest answer is always the most probable: they contracted the 
people to which they have to pay the less.

In fact, when I was still using Windows in 2008, once I contacted HP 
about a problem with the printer's drivers (which was really a bug); and 
the answers was replete of gigantic orthographic mistakes. Not to say 
they didn't realize it was a bug, and didn't fix the problem.

In other circumstance, I installed a RAID driver from my computer's 
manufacturer (Medion) web-page, and realized the driver wasn't for my 
computer but for other model; what made the DVD reader not to work.

I emailed them, and they asked me to send my computer to them and pay a 
fee; instead of checking if the driver was really the wrong one in the 
site. They refused to solve the problem in the web-page, and instead 
they wanted to install the old drivers and me to use those forever.

Not to say the BIOS is buggy (Micro-Star/MSI) and hasn't got an update, 
and this isn't the exception but the rule with various OEMs...

Then I chose to change my operating system, and make my own computers.

Regards.
