nVidia Drivers in Bootcamp are OLD!!!!

Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 15" I5 with the 330m Nvidia graphics card (256)

The nVidia drivers in bootcamp are 196.21, currently 257.21 is out. Apple, you are 61 versions OUT-OF-DATE. Update your stupid drivers so Mac users can actually play games! OR tell us how we can circumvent this install issue.

Here is what I've tried:
1. Go download latest (257.21) drivers from nVidia website.
2. Try to install and get a message saying there are no drivers for my hardware. It doesn't know that it can update it. See reason below
3. I've done the manual install and that doesn't work either, Windows says its not compatible.
4. Trying beta drivers now.

Please don't tell me to go to LaptopVideo2Go because that doesn't work at all, those drivers are for computers and manufacturers that are ON NVidia's support opt-in list for graphics drivers.

If you are going to put these "awesome and magical" graphics cards in then either UPDATE your drivers and stay CURRENT or opt-in and have nvidia do all the work.

I'm NEVER buying another Mac...EVER!!!!

Macbook Pro 15, i5 2.4 with 330m, Windows 7, UPDATE YOUR DRIVERS
