VIA Announces Open Source Driver Initiative
Aron Schatz writes "VIA has announced that they will start a new site (http://linux.via.com.tw — doesn't exist yet) specifically for the development of open source drivers. From their press release: 'Over the following months, VIA will work with the community to enable 2D, 3D and video playback acceleration to ensure the best possible Open Source experience on VIA Processor Platforms. 'To further improve cooperation with the community, VIA will also adhere to a regular quarterly release schedule that is aligned with kernel changes and release of major Linux distributions. In addition, beta releases will be issued on the site as needed, and a bug report and tracking feature will also be integrated.' Nvidia should be next."

No reason to have company.com.tw , and no reason to not just have company.com . Millions? What?
That's not the point.
.com.tw I have never seen .com.uk (.co.uk sure, but that's explainable). I was wondering if there was some stupid reason .com.tw had to be used, you know, like how .co.uk is used.
Why not just have msi.tw ?
Why not just have msicomputer.com (which they do have)?
Why company.com.tw ?
company.tw or company.com is simpler, and easier to remember.
companysomething.com is better, if company.com is taken.
And this is an issue I have only ever seen with
