Please, you are both being silly. Intel decision to leave the motherboard industry (which hasn't gone into effect yet, its going to take place over the next 3 years) has NOTHING to do with the quality of their boards. It was a business decision. Intel makes money selling CPUs, selling motherboards was a way to make sure those CPUs had a home. In the last decade or so, a ton of companies have started releasing their own motherboards (based ENTIRELY on Intel's designs, and will continue to be based entirely on Intel's designs). This means two things: 1) competition keeps prices low and there is only a little bit of money to be made for each motherboard sold. 2) The quality coming from this competition has risen so Intel knows their CPUs will have a home.
The best equivalent I can think of is if Nintendo announced that it would no longer publish its own internally developed games. It isn't perfect, since Nintendo makes quite a bit of money off its own games even today and the quality runs the gammut from great to gimmicky. However, the original motivation of insuring quality and content for a console is pretty much gone. There are way to many 3rd party software developers producing quality games, so Nintendo could just sit back and sell hardware at a profit. This is pretty much what Intel is doing.
Anyways, I have never heard ANYONE complain about buying an Intel motherboard. Usually, the attitude is "They just work, dammit."
