Uh...that's what a review is, opinions based on facts.
You basically just said "Hey, stop doing previews/reviews and let everyone else preview/review items so they can have their own opinions." - What nonsense is this?
If you don't like the opinion portion of reviews, stick with the technical data, which is generally listed on the products webpage.
Have these Previews/Reviews always been full of passive-aggressive rants? Its really getting worse. Let people make up their own opinions, no need to ruin the reviews with that.

It is not a rant, it is a reflection of what is real and what has been happening for months now. You might not like it, but this is what Intel is and is doing. I am not going to sugar-coat anything.

You can shove those into a conclusion section if you want to, but in the middle of presenting the technical data it has no place there, imho.
There is a difference between an objective review and spoon-feeding people a certain opinion.

I thoroughly agree with Hilbert's take on this. The board is very nice, but Intel's approach to this is frankly appauling - having to PAY to use RAID - seriously... no thanks.
