well, all i can say is they deserve it. all of it, and i hope beyond measure, that the newegg post, (even though most likely fake) is real, and that other retailers follow suit.

I swore off creative a long time ago, and couldnt have been happier that i did.

That picture of the broken X-Fi is from 4/15/2007. Old and lame. If you don't believe me save the image and view the properties.

Read everything... basically: Creative advertises, on the box, specific features and vista compatibility. Then, the retroactively take 'em away. Then, a respected driver modder who has helped 100's of thousands of people, creates a Vista driver that does what the box advertises.... Instead of offering to buy the driver, since Creative's sucks, they threaten the dude with a lawsuit in a public forum

Worse yet is that he is a respected member of that forum as well, and Creative supported his endeavors for the past year until he put them to shame with drivers that worked....
