I'm not sure that there is much of a market. I am a gaming enthusiast that owns a P4 system. Part of the reason I went with the P4 instead of AMD is because the features I were looking for were only offered from VIA boards. After being burned a few years ago by an AGP bus issue with my ASUS K7V Athlon classic 750Mhz using a VIA chipset, I have vowed to avoid VIA if at all possible. After lots of headaches with that system and gaming, I decided the stability I had always gotten from Intel systems in the past was what I wanted.
If Intel systems start turning to prodominantly VIA chipsets, I will probably start going back towards using AMD systems with Nvidia chipsets. So, I guess Nvidia should be happy about this move by VIA.
Wrong! We have the right to take as many pictures of you as we want, but we do not have the right to publish them. Try getting someone arrested for taking your picture. It won't happen.
I personally don't see anything wrong with this. Just like someone has the right to take a picture, a person should have the right to own a device that distorts the picture as well. You have no entitlement to a good picture of them just because you can take a picture.
