Nvidia fails the Vista test
Nvidia is scrambling to improve the low performance of its graphic-card drivers on Windows Vista.
The maker of the GeForce graphic processors and related daughterboard products has received lots of flack from gamers who say their computer games crashed as a result of Nvidia drivers that have proven to be incompatible with Microsoft's latest operating system. ...
Current Nvidia drivers designated as compatible for Vista include the v96.85 for GeForce FX Series, the v97.46 for GeForce 6 and GeForce 7 Series, and the v100.59 beta driver for GeForce6, GeForce 7 and GeForce 8800. ...
Nvidia is not the only company to experience problems with Vista. Apple has said on its Web site that none of the software that it's made available for the Windows environment has been updated for Vista.

Looks like the good folks at Dell have had enough with NVidia as well and aren't offering Vista with their top of the line PC (with the "top of the line video card") due to driver issues. One can't help but wonder how this is damaging partner relationships with Microsoft and Dell (and any others for that matter).
