On the subject of the XIG drivers. As an owner and a long-time user of one of their packages, I feel I can comment that they are excellent drivers. The only thing that is a shame is that more recent and powerful hardware cards are not supported.
Through the efforts of the manufacturers, they have laregely been pushed out of the fully hardware accelerated chips and mostly focus on Intel integrated graphics solutions these days.
I own one of their Platinum packages for my old HP notebook and have been quite pleased. The performance is excellent (given the underlying chipset) and they are extremely reliable. However, if you demand incredible performance on a modern 3D design package, you will be out of luck with XIG as they simply no longer support recent 3D Labs, nVidia, or ATI hardware. It is really a shame.
I believe in their products and appreciate all the work it takes to develop their products.
