NVIDIA responds to complaints about state of Vista drivers

Vista gaming with latest Geforce 8800 NVIDIA card impossible due to lack of drivers:

"NVIDIA's 100.xx drivers are currently in beta, but GeForce card owners are also reporting problems with the latest officially-supported drivers as well. Some users report that they are unable to play games at all under Vista, while others see significant FPS drops and other performance hits.

Might this explain why nVidia decided to launch G80 so early? Makes you wonder a bit...

I'd fall out of my chair though if nVidia didn't have working, stable drives out just before R600 launches.
