you are joking right?
at any rate these kind of bugs and flaws are supposed to be caught by the whole WHQL deal, but imagine that, they are not. There are several headaches fro driver writers:
1) OS interface complexity: seems both ATI and nVidia are both having issues getting their drivers in order for Vista (but XP/2000 are just fine) makes you go hmm...
2) before Vista was released, one of the highly touted features of it was that the graphics engine was supposed to be run in user space... so why did ATI need kernel write access to make their GPU's work? it should be that they send commands and data over the PCI-E or AGP buses, not needing to play with the kernel... smells bad for Vista....
the best Vista can give people at this point is a very false sense of security....
