ati has just posted official drivers for the R8500 for windows XP and 2k.
many people already d/led the drivers through windows update so this shouldnt be anything special (except for the fact that its on ati's website....not microsoft and that these are not beta/leaked drivers).
the driver version are:
6015 for win xp
6014 for win 2k
