I went auzentech prelude because of the superior quality of auzentech's cards and the promised X-Fi capabilities. Thus far I haven't been disappointed with auzentech's offering, but I'm hoping that their card will not be damaged by any recent activities at Creative.

Ditto.

I predict that creative is going to come out and say soon, "omg it was just a joke." I'm betting that this is true, but they're going to try to play it off as if it were a joke.

Like vastech company who threw mail-in rebates in the dumpster, they played it off as a "mistake made by a lazy employee; nah, man, we're not really like that! It was just that one guy!"

This is either really funny or really sick, I'm not sure.

Either way I'm still laughing

Me too......I mean after all Creative is the one behind the drivers.......which work for me......if Auzentech codes their own drivers after this then I have nothing to worry about though.

Monday Morning meeting at Creative:

Phil: It appears our action plan from the Friday meeting regarding that Daniel_K nuisance has backfired a bit. We need a plan to try to limit the damage. Any Suggestions?

Exec1: Seems they are pretty upset about the whole lack of Vista support, suppose we release the drivers needed to fully support it.

Phil: But that would damage our release of our newest card the Super Xtreme VST Card with full Vista support. Resulting in not making our Quarterly sales goals and our bonuses would be way less.

Exec1: Good Point...wouldn't want to do anything to effect my bonus.

Phil: Any other suggestions?

Exec2: What about that Dale guy we had deliver our message. Isn't he just a low level tech grunt?

Phil: Yes

Exec2: Why don't we just issue a statement saying that he alone is responsible for the message and we did not authorize such a message.

Phil: Perfect. That should secure my job and we can also say we have fired him for posting the message. And that Vista drivers are "in development" but we have no date as Microsoft totally screwed up sound support on Vista.

Phil: Ok thats the action plan. Now who's up for a round of golf?

Lol

If someone believes that a huge company passively threatening to sue any single person on a forum for just trying to help is a joke than that person is a moron.

It will most likely be "We apoligize for XXXXX, the employees involved were let go." (AKA Nothing happened)

Newegg just gutted prices on several Creative items ::: source

Looks like it might just be legit after all
