Now that Windows 7 has officially been released to manufacturing (RTM), expect to see third-party driver development kick into high gear, especially as the OS's October 22nd release date inches closer. AMD appears to be ready and has announced the release of the company's first WHQL-certified ATI Catalyst graphics drivers for the RTM.

AMD's Catalyst drivers are of the unified variety, meaning the same set works with both Windows 7 and Vista. With regards to Windows 7, AMD promises its drivers will offer stability and compatibility out of the gate, bring "full support for the visually stunning desktop environment of Windows 7," better gaming performance when compared to Vista, and full support for ATI FirePro professional graphics.

I liked the new brushed off look, but I think you just have to get used to the new navigation. I agree though, I liked 9.6 - looks.

i just downloaded it for windows 7 64 bit.  seems to be stable, i don't really like the new UI though, it seems like a step back.  Not nearly as intuitive as 9.6
