Driver Madness

ExtremeTech have a rant at ATI and nvidia for their Driver updates!

Take a look at this, will you?

There are seven tabs in the control panel of ATI's Catalyst 3.7 drivers. That's on top of the five tabs Windows already sticks in there. Does ATI really expect a normal person to be able to navigate all those tabs, and all those options? Your average computer user won't even know how to get to this control panel, much less what all these tabs are for. Hell, some of them are even redundant.

"Options" and "General" don't actually tell me anything about what they do, and I've got both a "Color" and "Color Management" tab. It's like they're trying to confuse users. The Overlay tab actually does color adjustment, just one specific screen element, but it gets its own tab.
