Not knowledgeable enough for reading the paper but it's been made pretty clear that it's not a valid proof. From what I read Atiyah is losing his mathematical abilities (he's 89), and that by respect for the great mathematician he was, most experts refuse to publicly comment the result. It's kind of sad.
