I'm not going to read all the pages of this thread, but I will say these few small points.

I manage a computer shop in my area, and I personally try to talk each and every person interested in a Creative soundcard out it, and in most case's succeed due to there absoloute lack of interest in releasing quality products with quality drivers let alone properly supporting there exhisting customer base.

Personally I have not owned or used a Creative product since my old Audigy Platinum and it all stems down to issues like this. There support is horrific, they've ruined a perfectly good name in E-Mu Systems, and they make lousy product's anymore.

I truely hope this is the end of their lackluster reign.

Its supposed to be a X-Fi card and Auzentec's site claims it is as well. Before i saw that i thought X-Fi was Creative exclusive.

Creative decided to license out the X-Fi APU and other associated technologies to Auzentech; the Prelude is an optimized X-Fi card.

LOL. Doesn't this mean Fata1ity loses money too? Haha, not like he doesn't have enough money, but I still think he is a great inspiration to gamers.

An inspiration? I think most people buy Fata1ity stuff because it usually glows red

This is a letdown in my devotion to Creative. Been a fan. Had many of their cards. Now, if I get the chance to, I'm out of there and I'm getting a Prelude. Ruh roh. They're X-Fi, too. Can't win for losing anymore these days. It's going to be a long haul for Creative to dig themselves out of this one. A lot of long nights in the developer's think tank to get it back on track. By then, the market share will be elsewhere, hopefully.

Really bad PR move, to say the least... they should have hired the guy and licensed the drivers... not threatened to sue him OPENLY in a public forum
