Intel apologetic about broken G45 HD decoding
I know no one expects superb performance from integrated graphics (a decent card costs less than $100 these days, stop being cheap!), but it should at least do what it says it does. They’ve fixed the Blu-Ray playback not being accelerated, but even on the Intel blog, the “bad” and “ugly” sections of the update summary are twice as long as the “good.” Want to have 7.1 sound, or play your Blu-Ray discs through a receiver? Broken. Constant stuttering? Still in effect. Come on, Intel! Your processor tech is unparalleled, but if you can’t package it into an end-user-friendly product, you’re screwed.
