MS tests the driver but they only test compatability to check if it installs properly on their OS they dont check stability or performance or proper functioning.

Its basicly a company pays MS money for the Windows compatible logo.

Further the WHQL testing takes a week or 2 wich is why Nvidia often releases a Beta after a new game release to quickly fix issues so they dont have to wait a week or 2 before they can launch a WHQL one.

Its one of the reasons why i never understood why ATI stopped releasing Beta drivers and started doing 1 official driver per month.
