Catalyst 8.8 Betas

Hey guys

Just saw this over at VR-Zone, new Catalyst 8.8 Betas. I haven't installed as they only linked (assuming) 32bit XP and Vista drivers. Not sure of the legitimacy of them.

Here's the post, including download links: http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=309825

Those aren't download links, they are links to the original reports.

PS, are we allowed to post direct links to downloads?

The betas don't work right.

It's time for 8.8 though...
