Exactly, my point.

Nothing more to be said.

I would rather run drivers explicitly developed by the hardware manufacturer 
because I know that any issue that crop up will be delt with in a timely 
manner.

Now that I think of it, I am not surprised.

Matrox is the company that was not able to provide a correctly working OpenGL 
ICD for Win9x much less NT.

Their G200 card shipped and many of the users that purchased the card waited 
eagerly over a year to use but they expectations were met with empty promises.

The G400 is a promising card hardware wise, but the drivers failed to deliver 
-- the one thing which kept me from purchasing it.
