Hmm, more like a discussion well just a thought, should motherboard makers gear towards from having the traditional CDrom drivers to a portable USB thumbdrive? I mean look at it.. majority of the DIY customers, I doubt they will install any CDrom or DVD or BlueRay or etc device on their rigs. Games these days are downloaded ... and what end users or gamers need are just the reg key. I believe most have already witness that case builders themselves are going towards a bay-less design. where you don't get to see any 3.25" or 5.25" bay at all. well some might even argue that the driver is useless, most will get it from downloads. well while I was installing windows 10 on a ASrock mobo, the OS was installed without an issue, but there are no drivers for the Intel I219-V Ethernet. I am not able to download the driver online as I have no connection.. well am lucky to have a laptop to download that driver, but what if I do not have one? hmm.. even though drivers that comes with your purchase might be useless, due to the fact that they are outdated and we might just throw the CDrom away. We if it's of a thumbdrive, at least we will reformat it and to reuse it again. 1st it will not be a waste 2nd Branding for mobo companies.. "marketing strategy" well what's your take?
