a bad driver can turn an otherwise stable system into a nightmare.

To help put an end to this, Microsoft is turning to a Driver Quality Rating (DQR) system that it hopes will motivate both OEMs and device manufacturers to increase their commitments to driver quality.

Yeah, more agressive WHQL! That's what we wanted! The question is how is this going to work with custom drivers such as Omega's modified Catalysts...

Fine as long the user can use non-whql drivers.
