Small text at the bottom of the website makes it clear that Rivet is wasting a perfectly good Intel 2.5GbE chipset with their software.

- Wish Intel would offer a way to reflash the firmware to be 100% stock Intel, instead of having Rivet/Killer's DEV ID that forces the Killer drivers.
- Wish MSFT Windows Update would stop forcing Rivet/Killer junk down onto my laptop.
- Wish Rivet/Killer's "uninstaller/blocker" actually worked (not to mention, it installs yet another driver/service just to do the "blocking").

If any of the these wishes came true, I'd have no complaints about Killer junk being laid ontop of good Intel Networking parts. Any laptop that has Killer = no buy.
