The Drivers- Pictures
The information screen shows that we are indeed using a Radeon.
The color calibration screen is virtually unchanged from previous drivers.
D3D settings offered a few features not previous in older cards.
There are only 3 D3D FSAA settings. The "Application preference" option
only does FSAA if the application requests it.
The OpenGL driver screen offered a few tweaking options.
Display screen allows for other modes of view.
The Options screen really only contained driver information.
The taskbar utility did provide easy access to some of the Radeon's features.
The LaunchPad program allows for easy use of the internal programs.
The DVD player to put that excellent DVD playback to use.
Video CD allows for viewing of just those: video CDs.
A CD Audio player is packaged as well.
File Player allows for playback of common types of movie files.
Video-in takes advantage of the cards VIVO features.

I don't remember it at all. The only thing I recall is a bunch of whiny ass fanboys complaining when their chosen CPU, GPU, etc. didn't get massive amounts of acclaim. The very first Radeon cards were good, but they weren't necessarily superior to the competition. You want a good Radeon release, that would be the 9700 Pro and later 9800 Pro -- those beat Nvidia hands down, and AnandTech said as much.
