Nvidia Drivers + Vista = Problems

NVIDIA, did you seem to forget about the people that still use GeForce 7/6 graphic cards on XP??? I mean, it's been six months now since NVIDIA has came out new with XP drivers for these graphic cards.
Some of the higher ups at NVIDIA need to get fired. I mean, this is starting to become pathetic. They still can't come up with decent NVIDIA drivers for Vista without some type of problems and they seem to have completely abandon GeForce 7/6 users on XP.
I love the "ME II" in the title of the article. I'm seeing that more & more in reference to Vista. I wonder how M$ feels about it?

Some areas in Spiderman 3 are showing up in grey blotches instead of scenes. I was reading that other people were having the same problem that were running these old drivers. And gee it's prob cause these drivers are old!
