Foxconn: We're Not Splitting Up (Not Yet, Anyway)

Rumors had been circulating that Foxconn (otherwise known as Hon Hai Precision Industry) planned to split its operations into three separate businesses, but if that's the case, it doesn't look like it will happen any time soon.
Foxconn didn't rule out the possibility entirely, but did say this kind of thing would need careful evaluation, adding that there are no current plans to blow up its business model. In a strange move, Foxconn did, however, express "gratitude" in a filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange for the media's interests in the matter.
Should Foxconn ultimately slice its business into three units, Chinese-language Next Magazine says one of those would include the company's chassis and connector manufacturing division. Another group would consist of the company's channel retailing business and OEM products, while the third group would put its attention into optoelectronics, monitors, LCD TVs, and other display technologies.

It has to be the Conn's fault because we all know that the Fox is never wrong.....right?

Foxconn??? Ugh. I have a Foxconn motherboard (no, not my main or even secondary computer); poor drivers, lots of weird error messages and BSOD's. Even if I reinstall O/S, I get new, different errors. My ASUS and Gigabyte boards (with same O/S and apps) work great.
