Do they usually test reported bugs themselves before acknowledging them on 
their website?  Perhaps they just haven't gone through the internal 
processes yet that allows them to officially acknowledge a bug?

Maybe they don't want to discourage other people from ATI?  If I was ATI I 
wouldn't exactly put at the top of my buglist "Fans don't work and chipset 
overheats - known for 1.5 years not fixed"...

On the other hand, maybe they know the bug will go away with new cards - and 
the bug is too much effort to fix with current cards.  So, in fact, they are 
just ignoring it and hope it will go away.

What's your theory?  Has anyone tried to actually contact them on the 
subject?
