The bigger issue is that "someone working in their spare time" is a lot more likely to have access to the same problematic combination of hardware (your CPU/motherboard/weird addon card) than the "highly trained professionals" at ATI, simply because there are a lot more people matching the former description. The result is that if you experience buggy behavior, the random grad student dude from Sweden who happens to have the *same* problem is a lot more likely to fix it, and fix it quicker, than one of ATI's tens of programmers.
