I just bought the card. I doubt that harassing ATI will get them to make any better Vista drivers. Recently, there was a comparison where a much cheaper ATI card on XP did much better than a higher-end card on Vista, because of their drivers.

I installed the Vista 1.5.11 patch today, and now Darwinia seems to think it's in trial mode. When in a level: -'Leave Location' isn't in the menu -'Buy Online' is in the menu instead of 'Visit Website' -Leave Darwinia results in the nag screen However, I can play all the levels just as before.

When I installed the patch, I got the demo version, not the full version as I had previously. :( Edit: I can do everything a full user should be able to do (all the regular levels, etc.), but when in a level, I get the 'Buy Game' menu item, no 'Leave Location' menu item, and when I hit 'Leave Darwin...

How about this: only let them play Speed Defcon!
