One major driver f*ck up cannot compare to a 15 year history of consistently producing shitty DOS/windows drivers and virtually non-existent linux/unix drivers followed by a 5 year history of producing mediocre drivers that often contain far more bugs than their predecessor. There I said it. If anyone wants to call me an NV fanboy for that statement they are welcome to do so, but anyone who has been buying products from both brands for the last 15 years knows I'm right. ATI drivers didn't start to become decent until the merge with AMD happened, then all of the sudden they started turning things around. Nvidia's drivers are still more reliable (less bugs) and more consistent (lower probably of introducing new bugs and/or major changes during a driver update). AMD/ATI has really caught up though, and has finally gotten close to the level of quality nvidia drivers are known for. The only time I can think of off the top of my head when the quality of nvidia's drivers declined for a reasonably lengthy amount of time was the year after windows vista was released. Nvidia drivers were consistently buggier than AMD/ATIs during that year.
