AIW Support in Vista? [ATI Video Cards]

Does ATI ever plan to support the AIE 1800XL? I bought this card shortly
before Vista and now, a year later, their website still states:
________
Note: All-in-WonderT boards operate with AMD Windows Vista-Ready Display
Drivers under the Windows Vista Operating System. However there is currently
no software application which provides TV/Capture functionality for
All-in-WonderT boards under Windows Vista.
________

Putting aside the fact that the 'discalimer' is written to sound neutral, as
though this matter is completely out of ATI's hands. Instead, the question
begs: Does ATI ever plan to add Vista AIW support for this card, or are they
just yanking the chains of those who own them rather than flat out state
that AIW owners are SOL, as they have no plans to *ever* support this
expensive card?

Apologies if this sounds like the rant it is. I've patiently checked the web
site on a regular basis for a year now only to be perpetually confronted by
this disclaimer and the realization that I paid entirely too much for a
straight video card when I thought I was buying a multimedia TV card.

Thanks!

Don't hold your breath. I'm still pissed that my Radeon 7200 with video-in
could not be used in Netmeeting though it does work as a capture device
under 9x and XP (not with native drivers). My condolences on running Vista
btw.

Vista was written so poorly by Micro$oft that ATI and Nvidia are having a
VERY hard time writing drivers for any of their moderately older video
cards. Blame Microsoft for not consulting with anyone else when they were
concocting the disaster known as Vista.

If they can write drivers for their new boards then they can write
drivers for their old ones. Now ask yourself, who benefits from
making old video boards obsolete so that people have to buy new ones?
Is it Microsoft or is it nvidia and ATI?
