What part of "root exploit" did you miss? That automatically disqualifies them from even running for "best video driver".

Okay, these Nvidia people know a thing or two about graphics programming. (Of course, it helps that they have access to the specs and nobody else does). Apparently they don't know much about secure programming or preventing buffer overflows.

How do you know it's fixed? Do the release notes specifically mention a fix for a root exploit? Did you review the source code? Oh, wait...
