This is patently wrong.  Go to the nvidia download page, click on download
drivers, clike on GeForce drivers, and then click on Vista x86 (or x64) and
you'll see that the most recent drivers are 97.46 released yesterday, the
previous drivers were, IIRC 97.02 and were released in December.  There was
also a version before that in the 96.xx range for vista that was released
about the time of RTM.  That article is simply not true.

Don't let facts stop you, though.
