nVidia video drivers

I have a question.... not a big deal, but how is it that Major Geeks has Forceware 177.35 http://www.majorgeeks.com/Nvidia_Forceware_for_XP20002003_d5934.html and the Nvidia web site has an older version, v 175.16 http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.16_whql.html

Does anyone else find this a bit strange? :confused
I have a 9600GT factory overclocked from Asus. I had recently uninstalled some of the extras that were installed when I first installed the card and used the CD that was shipped with it. Anyway- I was looking in my device manager for a completely different reason and saw a yellow ! so I went about figuring out why it was there. It was a leftover from the Asus extras I had uninstalled. So I went to nVidia to install the latest driver. After I did, I came here to MG just to peruse the forums but noticed on the front page that MG has a newer driver than what is available at nVidia's web site.... just a strange observation. I'm sure that nVidia will catch up to MG soon.

I just looked into this a bit more.... it seems that (according to nVidia) that Forceware 177.35 is for the new GTX200 series of video cards
