Why do you say that? I use Matrox video cards almost exclusively for my workstations and have never had a problem with the drivers or hardware and their dualhead operation is the best I've run across so far. I do use Win2K for my own systems, but I have built a few for other people with WinXP and not had any troubles... so I guess I'm curious.

Also, keep in mind that Matrox flopped with their 3D capabilities being too slow & expensive compared to the competition, their new focus is solely on their real time broadcast video editing & switching. In the downsizing, the no longer have the same development team they use to have. Don't expect them to address 2D desktop driver related issues as fast as NVidia.
