The day after? I thought the Vista release date was the 30th.

Face the fact that you're an early adopter and will go through some problems with immature drivers and bugs. It may be bad marketing but the consumer should also be aware of what is realistically achievable.

I have no problem with being an early-adopter, on the bleeding edge, etc. What I do have a problem with is the deceptive marketing practices that nVidia has engaged in. They marketed the 8800 as the first DX10 ready card and also as Vista Ready. Until yesterday it was neither.
