Software from hardware vendors

Why is it that all hardware manufacturers (for PC) write the most crappiest software ever? ASUS builds good hardware, but when it comes to software, their website support section is one of the worst and slowest (from here in the UK at least), and this is their BIOS updater: I have no idea why a BIOS updater for a motherboard should look like a spaceship why can’t they just use normal Windows controls like EVERY BODY else? 

Or which idiot approved the use of a picture of a Mac on a Windows tool to update PC motherboard BIOS? 

But this is not why I’m so pissed off with ASUS. The problem is a software developer uses “funky” graphics for his application as if it is going to be used by 12-year olds, but leaves options like a list of ASUS FTP servers to choose from or PASSIVE/ACTIVE and Proxy connection settings in there. Couldn’t you bloody used a normal blooming HTTP for that? Was it not possible to try PASSIVE and then ACTIVE if that didn’t work and then show a link for a direct download if everything was unsuccessful? Is upgrading a BIOS somthing that people do every afternoon after picking up their kids from school?

Why should I care about which one of your FTP servers to use? Why should I care which FTP connection method I have to choose? Why should it be my problem that a company as big as ASUS can’t sign a contract with a hosting provider so I don’t get “Too many connections, try again later” in a middle of a download? 

Where do they find there “developers”? Which planet they live on? Haven’t you heard of anything called Apple? Oh wait a second, you idiots make Apple laptops in your factories. Open one up before it goes into the box. You might get something into your thick skills by chance.
