Qualidade do suporte da Asus

Ainda indignado com o famigerado problema da USB da Asus M2N-MX
SE, insisti por mais uma vez no "suporte" da Asus. Enviei o seguinte:

The Asus M2N-MX SE can't recognize my APC Back-UPS 600 throught USB.
There's a problem with this board regarding low speed USB devices.

When will you release a new BIOS for this board fixing USB issues???

***

E adivinhem a maravilhosa resposta que eu recebi:

Prezado Fraga,

Por favor, todos os drivers, BIOS e manuais disponíveis para o seu
produto podem ser encontrados no seguinte link:

Atenciosamente,
Marcelo Chiea
Suporte ASUS.
