The numbers don't really jibe with that theory.
2007
Desktop GPU Market Share:
Intel: 41%
Nvidia: 31%
ATI: 22%
2007
notebook GPU Market share:
Intel: 47%
ATI: 29%
nVidia: 22%
Cause of logged vista Crashes
nVidia: 29%
Microsoft: 19%
ATI: 9.3%
Intel: 8.8%
nVidia accounted for close to 1/3rd of
all Vista crashes. Thats More crashes than Intel and ATI combined. And Over 3 times as much as ATI. Yet nVidia had only 10% more desktop market share than ATI in 2007. And thats if we completely ignore the laptop market. Which lest we forget, nowadays makes up the
majority of PC sales . Where ATI actually has a larger share of the market.
As we said,
G80 new architecture caused it - coupled with being released almost simultaneously with a Brand New OS
It is *normal* for this to happen with new GPU architecture integrating with a {somewhat buggy} *brand new* operating system
at the same time 
it also happened a few months later with r600 when 2900xt launched with buggy-as-hell-ooB drivers that were not fixed for about 3 months [right when i got mine
]
*case closed*
we know already, because it was beaten to death here - this is ancient - and NO ONE gives a CRAP anymore except Nvidia haters and AMD marketing; besides, the OP is almost 6 months late posting the interview.
Oh! Come on now. It may have been beat to death. But some people actually have real concerns. Its not just NV haters. NV drivers just plan aren't as stable as ATIs. If you want to talk about Beating something to death . The ATI haters have strangled CCC to point were there is no flesh left just a bibey nick.
IF hardware has a problem its Hardware Benchmarkers Like AT to report said problems. Than it is for us to discuss rather than to say its just anti- marketing or fanbois. Even tho drivers are software. Its part of the package.
Covering things up or dening that problems exist in the end only proves. That companies cann't be trusted or fanbois.
A good example of this was AEG rollo thing. I read all the stuff here . Quit frankly thats when I found out Keys was a pretty good guy. But we all have faults.
There does seem to be a cover up going on right now. The people dening it are really going to look like fools in the end. Fool me once shame on you! Fool me twice shame on me! Also Hardware site such as AT should be reporting the known facts at least . Given what we now know the problem is hugh . Its just a matter of time befor a class action suite. A couple of failed 280's with the problem described below . and thats it. lawsuite.
