Not a great many. Until 10.7's my work machine (4xxx series) would always
fail during installation and require a command line install workaround. It
was a common enough issue that my brother actually wrote an article
detailing the workaround and posted it on various forums. I also just
rebuilt one of my bench machines (890GX with built-in 4xxx series GPU).
Clean install, but the video converter failed to install. Trying to
reinstall the drivers resulted in a fubar CCC. I also hate that the Express
install method includes a game demo and other garbage ("Communication
Opt-In") that has no business in a device driver.

I'm not trying to say that nvidia is perfect, but I am trying to impress
upon the collective that ATI is not perfect either. Both nvidia and ATI
should be embarrassed.
