Terry Makedon from ATI (Catalyst Maker to all our board junkies) has just
posted details on the new program which was announced on
Tomshardware recently
"His biggest news of the weekend was the exclusive announcement this weekend to the Lanwar attendees that ATI would be starting a Beta program for driver testing in a further attempt to ensure that the highest quality of drivers are released. The new beta program will give real world users the chance to become more involved in the driver development process. Of course, this beta testing and feedback program will allow ATI the ability to any catch potential issues before drivers are WHQL certified and released. With all of the focus now turning to WHQL certification, this announcement was very warmly received by the crowd. "
