3Dfx died in the fourth quarter of 2000 and Windows XP came to life a year after. But seven years after, drivers for 3dfx cards still appear. First of all, it is nearly incredible that enthusiast community managed to support an operating system which was still in the works. Secondly - it is incredible that drivers that support both 32- and 64-bit Windows have just came out.

I'm currently running Vista 64bit with unsigned, beta drivers by nVidia. I also have unsigned, beta drivers for my Creative sound card. I don't think signed drivers are a must as my system would not be running.
If you think about it, nobody will pay to have beta drivers signed. Think of the outcry by hardware vendors if they could not get the general population to test they're drivers. MS would very soon be dealing with allot of pressure.

I was under impression that all drivers for 64 bit Vista must be signed. How they overcomed this requirement? Or did they pay to have drivers signed by MS?
