Nag nag nag, Jorden is nagging at our nagging

Just kidding, Jorden. ;-)

But listen up, we're the customers. I work in as a programmer at an e-commerce company which develops some products for important companies. If we tried something like this, we would be out of work. How do you think such a customer would react if we hadn't implemented anything we had agreed on on the start of that cycle? Indeed, they would be furious.

And it works the same if the customer is a normal person buying a product. Currently I suspect that It is just a wrong version they posted. For Quake 2 the OpenGL is fast enough, but for Quake 3 I have to resort to my Voodoo2 to make it more playable. And I really wanted to get rid of that thing.

Exactly. Please be more agressive and "demanding". Especally againsk Big M e-mail/phone tech support.
They have been too lazy I belive when it comes to drivers... I've seen many of you good old M followers here being too kind and protective. That's not good, not good at all.

Big M need more driver programmers. one or two more. Just look at all the bitching with these drivers for the matrox cards! Dammit!!

With my old Spectra 2500 I could just double-click and .exe file and install new drivers right over old ones. No problem. Everything worked, finished in 15 seconds.
What do we have here? regedit, our very own uninstall .exe, manually deleting system files (!) and the last but so painful HD-reformat.

No wonder why these drivers are in so bad shape, and why the ICD is so bad. How the hell can we test the drivers for real when we have to re-format everytime we do a change in hardware-setup, just to be sure "every trace of old drivers is gone".

Ok I'm done. This is it. bye!

Yes. Even Ant has joined the "whinners" group by now. Or at least he has alreadt confirmed that something went terribly wrong.

If a people come here complaining about the new drivers, then you can post "Get a life". If fifty people do it, then you shoul have waited and see if actually something is wrong.
