So I guess no more none .NET drivers :(

You can download the display driver only, stick with the 5.12 control panel.

I stand to be corrected, but as far as I can read you only need .NET if you install the Catalyst Control Centre

Look below low speed(dial-up) for Alternate/Optional Downloads

As far as I can tell this download is Catalyst Control Center with the additional languages

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Nick H. · Posted

      On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"

      Everyone behaves like Internet Explorer just never happened and Edge is whole new thing all while Microsoft is pulling the exact same ###### it did back then. Sigh.
