Er, what do you mean by ".NET-crippled drivers"?
I think he means the CCC - Catalyst Control Centre. (which needs .NET 2).

One of my customers just moved to new office and chose to switch to a Comcast business package that included phone service. His phones were working over the weekend while I was setting up his racks and crap. Monday: No dialtone. He called Comcast, they did tests, said they'd send a truck.
These are phones for a business that does telephone sales, by the way.
By Wednesday of that week, he still hadn't seen a Comcast guy. Thursday, the guy finally shows, says he needs to replace the transceiver or something but he doesn't have one with him because all he ever does is residential cable installs. My customer is expecting his shit to work this morning when the Comcast guy shows. In the meantime I have Google voice forwarding his main business line to a cell phone, and that's all the phone service he has.
Go Comcast.

2. nVidia's control panel is no better than ATI's. Perhaps your familiarity with nVidia's way is biasing you?
Which ISP are you with? I hate them all, but am currently with Internode.
Telstra doesn't play nice anymore; ISPs have trouble reselling their service for a reasonable price.
1. Using anything but the built-in Win7 setting for "screen resolution", which is in the right-click menu on the desktop, is a waste of time.

Hi Dave.
1: Why on earth would I want to use Win7?
2: Nvidia controls (a) load vastly faster, and (b) have a nifty little two-click thing that sits on the taskbar and lets you switch between most-used resolutions. Or they used to - I've been stuck with this ATI rubbish for a fair while now, getting hard to remember.
because I absolutely hate wasting time
a big, ugly "run ATI control centre" on every bloody folder right-click menu, FFS!
3: The only real advantage of Win 7 for me would be the 64-bit version, and that breaks a number of my most-used apps. Yes, there are workarounds, but if I'm going to buggerise about with all that stuff, wouldn't it make more sense to switch to Linux while I'm at it?
Wow! You mean that, after only 16 years to think about it, they finally actually came up with a useful task for the bloody Windows bloody key?
Yes, I've made the switch to Linux and haven't looked back
