That's great for you guys at AMD....but if ATI has drivers for this OS, then why won' they release them? I can't find the link....but somebody on HardForums repeated a message from ATI stating that they were not going to release drivers for this os until...some reason, I can't remember. Now I know to take what one person on HArdForums with a grain of salt, but it would appear from many sources that drivers are very tough to come by.

ATI does not release BETA drivers to the public which is why you don't see them with the release. They really aren't trying to screw people they are just following their procedures. There are beta-testers that have drivers and they work pretty well but it's all under NDA. You won't see anything offical until Microsoft releases things offically.

It's seems very backwards to me and a lot of people...that is just how ATI does business.
