The ATI graphics driver was a particular point of contention with the independent "Bootloader" hack, with a viable solution for driving the ATI X1600 chipset used in MacBook Pro and Intel-based iMacs missing. We're not sure how Apple created a working graphics driver for this card that works with Windows XP, but it almost certainly involved cooperation from ATI.
