NVidia's every few week betas I actually would rather have than once per month. Why? Every issue in a game for the most part recently has had a beta driver to fix it very shortly afterwards... Meanwhile, how long did it take for ATi to get AA working in UE3 titles with it's "better whql drivers", or the length of time it took for a fix to lost planet with it's "better whql drivers"? That's where the argument comes from, and it's very valid.

Yeah and you forgot the other 10 bugs that it creat with the new beta.
ATI also have some hot-fix through the year but that´s only it.

Problems with drivers are everywhere with everyone, and ATI and Nvidia drivers are both good. The Nvidia = Best and ATI = Bad drivers is ridiculous and everyone knows that.

I´am one advanced user and I never in my life installed drivers weekly. That´s insane. I remember Nvidia launched 2 drivers in one day to fix the other beta.
99% of users stick with monthly WHQL upgrade driver.
Drivers is a no go excuse to stay away from one HD 4850. It could be if we where talking about crossfire, but those problems are equal in SLI/Crossfire.
