Still no GeForce 8800 GT for Mac Pro rev1 Owners

While the past months have been a mixed between hope and disappointment for Mac Pro rev1 owners, the GeForce 8800 GT to be compatible with the first Mac Pro generation is still not available. As a reminder, the reason is the EFI driver only available and compiled for 64-bits.
Even though a rumor from mid-January was reporting NVidia was working on a 32-bit driver, today it is not available; even though the company indicates it will need a couple of weeks. We think that developing a driver requires time, but if you really want to have done, it should not take months to get it ready, except if you decide (NVidia, NVidia+Apple, Apple) that such investment is not of financial interest.
Once more, even is Cupertino is not directly involved in this story, users will conclude that Apple is more interested about potential new customers than supporting or bringing satisfaction to Mac users. It also demonstrates how frustrating it can be for Mac users of having Apple refusing to deeply collaborate with NVidia and ATI in order to deliver more frequently optimized GPU drivers.
