According to Microsoft it has...for the worse!
Now we're in a market where there are essentially only two prevalent video
chipset providers left; Nvidia and ATI. They both claim to create drivers
within a unified driver model but the quality has not improved. Microsoft
says that the Online Crash Assistance site indicates that over 80% of the
crashes submitted are due to video drivers. This is a big reason that VISTA
is aimed throwing away DirectX (which was a big push to create a common
library for driver-OS interaction) in favor of an even more abstracted
interface set.
