Asus backs away from drivers
by Sander Pilon, May 18, 2001 5:54pm PDTLooks like Asus is doing the right thing(tm) and are pulling back their drivers:
Although ASUS did not officially release the “see-through” feature in the current 11.01, 12.00 and 12.10 drivers, this feature-enhancing codes were enabled by non-ASUS programmers and posted on various unauthorized websites. ASUS recognizes that these features may offer unfair competitive advantages for some users and will take actions to curtail the use of these drivers. All codes related to these features will be removed in all future versions (Version 12.40 and up) to prevent any further tampering that may enable “see-through”. ASUS will also provide a way for web hosts to detect and disable “see-through” functionality.They also provide code to detect the malicious drivers, so games can detect and ban players that use them.

Instead of making drivers that promote cheating, why not release software that helps fight it?
The way I see it, people would be more likely to buy their software & hardware if it helped to ensure a cheater-free environment (you know, clearer skies, less smog...)

Oh and its also not their fault for providing the functionality in the drivers, but switching it off in such a simple fashion as to allow a "non-Asus programmer" to enable it - probably with a simple registry hack.
GG Asus. Your rep is ruined.

"There are three special weapons for ASUS VGA cards' users -- Transparent View, Wireframe View, and Extra Light. If you do not have an ASUS VGA card -- be careful! Never compete in the 3D games with anyone who has an ASUS VGA card. Because the only result is to loose."
WTF? That was a year ago that they said that.
