Because providing that option doesn't give anyone sub-par drivers?

Also, the power saving stuff is bollocks. I never thought I would see the day when anyone would recommend using a bullshit fake RAID driver for power saving reasons.

Please refer to my other response to you. It would be awesome to read your analysis of the drivers and the underlying hardware.

I base my opinion on what experts call facts as I'm not a hardware expert myself.

There's actually some interesting OSS politics at hand (it appears that this new ultrabook BIOS may have been "copied" over from the Lenovo server BIOS):
