Not moot yet anyway because as you stated p13 isn't out yet. And it's
more than interesting that it is pulled, because this is indicative of
a company that really doesn't care about its customers when it has
problems with a file and pulls that file without telling its customer
why. I am sure that there are people out there using P12 not knowing
that their data could be at risk. Developers, resellers, system
administrators, etc, make decisions on what hard drives to buy and
other hardware decisions based on specs published for this
motherboard. What if the p12 bios doesn't support hard drives say over
200GB and your company buys thousands of them in the expectation they
would work. I think you would be more than a little upset in that
case. Coming out with a new Bios now would not repair that damage.


Data could be at risk? Where are you getting that from? They could have
pulled it for any number of reasons, from trivial to serious, but since we
don't know it's not really responsible to throw around phrases like that. I
think it's pretty reasonable to assume though that if it was anything
important, the proper bulletin would have been created and we'd know about
it.

My point was that they intend to replace it with P13, and they said that it
would be out early-to-mid January, which for all I know is when P12 was
pulled. Given this tight turnaround there's no point in putting P12 back out
now, but as you say, they should at least tell us why P12 was pulled, and
they very well might in the release notes for P13.
