It is a similar experience with Intel, Dell, ...
The OS is not on their compatible list? Sorry can't help you, never
mind it is a hardware problem.
Whenever there is hardware problem, I play dumb and 'do' whatever they
ask me to do and report failure for each operation. Eventually I get a
RMA number.

I run a small time consulting operation and this is the kind of flack
I get. It is just not Linux.
On an Intel S3000AH board, certified for Windows 2003 server, I was
told that Windows 2008 server was not supported.
