And then there's also "Intel is Removing End of Life Drivers and BIOS Downloads"[0]. Great, if I didn't save them, I need to go to a 3rd party site, run the risk of getting malware, have to compare hashes, etc, etc, etc... This is, in my opinion, an absolute no-go as a vendor, and instantly makes me want to drop them. Which I did, all the PCs my clients get from me are AMD systems now.
AMD is a serious vendor, you can even get the old ATI RAGE drivers off their website.

EDIT: The linked tweet[1] in the article mirrors my sentiments on this topic almost perfectly:
