Think how big Newegg is and think of the amount of spam/troll emails they'll get.

They won't realise anything has happened until someone points it out - try searching "Newegg Creative"...when it gets near the top THEN they'll realise.

The net is a big place.

Creative ought to stick to their mp3 players, my zen vision m is a winner by far. I bet the same goes for the new zen.

I did enough tracking on this (wasted my whole day ) that I changed the title to OCN for the source since I was the first to catch the Newegg post in the Creative thread (look and see, I replied first)

Can't get too excited though... it is sad really; I will miss Creative, but never again

we'll find out if it's a hoax tomorrow.

However, GREAT READ!

Even if it is a hoax, it gives us a pretty good idea of the "backlash" (the term used earlier) the company is facing from the customers.

It's about time, my Audigy 4 under Vista is as about as stable as a one legged table. Crashes all the time, and forces me to restart. Burn in hell for all I care.

I'm gonna get rid of this creative card and get that razer barracuda. It looks nice and they actually have vista support.
