NVIDIA Vista Drivers Update: Future Plans Unveiled @ PC Perspective

On January 30th, Microsoft officially released to the general public their latest version of Windows, known throughout its development as "Longhorn" and then officially named Windows Vista. Vista marks the most dramatic shift in desktop operating systems since the move from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95; a wildly changed software architecture and new security and usability features aim to keep Vista up with user demands.

On launch day though, there were more than a few problems for quick-adopting users. First, there was a lot of confusion about the new software licensing methods and whether or not enthusiast's that build PCs for themselves were going to find huge headaches in a move to the Vista OS. I took a look at these problems and found that most of the concerns were exaggerated, at least for the time being as Microsoft is willing to work with the DIY system builder.

What an odd article.

I sort of liked the FiringSquad article where they interviewed the Nvidia guy. That made more sense.

Well that'll save me some money on a second card for the time being. Don't think i'll be able to persuade her another 8800GTS is a legitimate wedding present in august though heh. Should coincide nicely with the first Vista servicepack though.

I read something about Microsoft totally redoing the audio stack. I wonder if that might actually end up helping Creative get their act together on drivers.
