Auzen's non-Prelude offerings are all solid performers that have zilch to do with Creative. Also look to M-Audio, ESI, HT Claro, etc.

It does, and lots of it! Their latest driver update was in late February. And unlike Creative, drivers for XP and Vista have the same features/software

Hmm HT Omega is $155 In Australia not a bad Price.

Would this be a better performer than the Auzentech X-Plosion.

If they don't go down, they will be hurting. It's going to be a lot harder for a descredited company to sell anything and I'd say Creative fits right into that category now. Not only that but Creative hasn't been doing so hot the last few years in terms of stock prices.
