There is a rumour going on the internet that DFI rumoured to exit DIY mainboard business and concentrate on industrial mainboards.
If this is true, it is a really sad day for everyone as DFI has been around for so long, delivering top notch end user boards. Although DFI will still be around, but they will focus their strength on industrial use mainboards. This rumour might be true as we also find that it is weird that we have not heard anything about their plans for H55 series of boards which are scheduled for Jan 2010.
A few weeks ago, we previewed a DFI hybrid board. We put in a request for the board. They promised to send it out but days later, they made a bug U turn claiming that their boss have no intention to mass market it to the end user market. Instead, the Hybrid board will be sold as a industrial PC board.
Stay tuned for more updates.
Mmh however in this newer article it seems that DFI has fired several important people… (it’s english translated by Google)

Good riddance. I vote DFI for worst support in the industry and shoddy products. Whatever “name” DFI had/has is based on work done many years ago. I bought one of their crappy $300 x48 boards and it was a nightmare. DFI, you need to go away. Actually, you went away years ago, you just did not bother to tell anyone.
