Don't know whats going on in vista but the nvidia drivers (64bit linux and a 8600gt) are working very well for me here, and I don't hear many XP users complaining either.
In contrary to a post above, all (including linux) video drivers do have direct access to the kernel. "X% of crashes due to driver Y" doesn't say a whole lot, is the kernel is issuing a request that the driver doesn't understand or is the driver asking for something the kernel doesn't understand? And in both those cases is the blame being put on the driver? f..ing statistics.

linux drivers rock solid here
