Talk about ouch for the US military. Documents were leaked online through peer to peer software. ATi is getting better with chipsets and its RS690 looks pretty tastey. Even though Microsoft Vista is available for business users, many are waiting for mainstream January 30th release.

Everything has to be ready for that date. ATI, for example, did great work with its Direct 3D drivers and most of the games works now under Vista 32 bit, but it is not yet ready to show off the OpenGL driver. Crossfire support is working but inside the elvish ATI shop. It is still not as polished as ATI wants it to be.
