nn direi .... anche se nn condivido l'idea di dare solo il pesante control center, nn vuol dire che ati abbia driver malvagi...

diciamo che da sempre nvidia ha avuto migliore supporto open gl e linux, ma la migliore stabilità dei driver, come la loro relativa velocità quanto ad aggiornamenti, permette ad ati di avere il miglior supporto software odierno, anche per il nuovo win vista...
