So, you know if you have an AMD or Nvidia GPU, how you go to their websites and pretty much click one button to get the clearly-labelled latest WHQL or non-WHQL drivers, and that's it?
Then why on Earth can the company with by far the largest GPU market share not even manage to decide which drivers are actually the latest ones? Seriously, go and find the latest driver for a recent Intel GPU. Think you've found it? Great, now look at the version numbers/dates and realise the 'previously released' ones are actually newer than the 'latest' ones!

Even the naming isn't consistent!
OK so maybe they want you to just use the auto-detect too? But that seems to, again, recognise newer drivers as outdated and installs older drivers, all labelled as non-beta so it's not like they're just keeping Beta drivers separate.
And just to add to that, I had to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox as I was getting fairly frequent graphical corruption, something I've never had to do with AMD or Nvidia. They even list that sort of thing under 'known issues' months ago in their release notes. Any chance of a fix then Intel? Or are you still stuck deciding what date is most recent?
Seriously how do they expect to be taken seriously in the IGP gaming market when they make even choosing the right driver a right pain in the bottom?
Or is there just an easier way I'm not aware of? Windows Update only seems to install fairly dated GPU drivers as usual, so surely that's not the best option?
