ATI Catalyst 9.7 ‘WHQL-certified for Windows 7 RTM’
With Windows 7's release to manufacturing, AMD has announced the latest version of its ATI Catalyst graphics driver. Catalyst 9.7 is a single unified WHQL-certified driver for both Windows 7 and Windows Vista. With new drivers from AMD today, and a WHQL-certified release from NVIDIA yesterday, it all sounds like plain sailing in terms of Windows 7 driver support. Almost makes the early Windows Vista woes seem like a distant memory. A list of all the changes found in Catalyst 9.7 - complete with performance improvements and resolved issues - can be found in AMD's official release notes (PDF).

I’d like to think ATi is working on a solution, considering many have made home made solutions by manually installing xp drivers on vista and other such work arounds.
