RTM on November 30, retail availability on January 30

It looks as though Microsoft is getting its ducks in a row when it comes to final countdown for Windows Vista and Office 2007. According to APC Magazine, Microsoft has earmarked November 30 as the RTM date for both Vista and Office 2007.

RTM Version is the versions that ship to business.

Any news on SLI?   You'd think that now that we have a hardware powered UI that SLI would be rather simple to add in.  Does Crossfire work on Vista yet?

ATI/AMD has Crossfire working on Vista, so I am not sure what is up with Nvida

Crap.

Crap.

Something makes me think this is more of a developer resource problem than a platform problem. The new driver model for vista should support these options, it is just a matter of the manufactures rewriting a pile of code to fit the new model.

Oh ya for sure.  Remember about like 2 years ago (maybe 3), when nvidia was awesome because of their drivers?  Then ATI did the whole catalyst thing and no the tides have turned.

Grr.  Intel  should just buyout nvidia.l
