The response it has provoked on the Creative forums alone is pretty amazing...there are several posts recommending people to get in touch with various legal departments because the product is sold as Vista compatible... Pretty poor decision by Creative in my eyes.

Hire the guy... and fire your entire incompetent driver team. It only took them 2 years to get mostly working X-Fi drivers after the release of the card....for XP

What the hell? You know what Creative? Improve your drivers if you don't want such things to happen, if we buy a product, we have full rights to exploit it, and even if it's against their TOS, too bad for them, it's not a law. They are trying to get Copyright involved by saying that Daniel is stealing technology that belongs to Creative. Seriously, fire your driver's team.

I just read that thread, it's unbelievable. In stead of paying the guy a sack of money for saving their lousy driver development team they threaten a lawsuit... Guess no more Creative for me (or any of my clients).

Sounds to me like Creative just plain hates Vista for whatever reason and refuses to have anything to do with it, even if other people are trying to help they want to get rid of them...I don't get it

The concept of "Intellectual Property" is such a massive hindrance of progress in our society that we should just get rid of it all together.

If we get rid of Intellectual Property prices are either going to sky rocket to make up for loyalties or there is going to be a monopoly which we dont want.
