12:15 AM - Companies that can't ship drivers

Nvidia, ATI (read AMD) and Creative can't seem to ship release drivers for Windows Vista.  While Windows ships to the general public at the end of hte month, it was released in November to businesses!  Its RTM!  That means they are behind by many months.  One could argue that Creative should get some slack since sound blaster audigy's aren't exactly business grade sound cards.  Creative's beta driver actually works for the most part as well.  Nvidia on the other hand, doesn't have working OpenGL support which is used by engineers, cad designers and other fields.  I can get the same performance out of mesa with no hardware acceleration in BSD.

Yes, I'm pissed ET doesn't work.  I'm also in shock they can't support the monopoly of computing.
