Accepting money, even when it is not required, for something that you do not own is stealing. Just because he offered them without forcing people to pay, does not make it right.

Wow - I thought that message to Daniel was bad but I never expected this.

The Creative Headset I had on my head just "fell" off.

Games was a metaphor...that one flew right over your head didnt it?

Same difference. If you want alchemy you have to pay for it..big deal. Just because you dont like it doesnt give you the right to steal it.

SO will it be okay if I modify Vista to support DirectX11? And then ask for money to support me?
If MS pulls a Creative which would mean that XP would get DX11 and Vista wouldn't, then go for it lol. See a smart company supports their product on the latest hard/software.

I want a good soundcard at some point and I was kind of set on this... But I don't know what exactly is going on.

The Asus Xonar D2 looks nice but it only supports EAX2?

So does my Audigy2, but I have about half of the usual features compared to when I was on XP. I have barely any EAX options and functionality at all.

The truth is that since a few years ago, Creative is the only mainstream sound card supplier and when buying a new sound card we usually have to choose between creative, creative, creative or maybe rest with the onboard realtek. There are others, but too few and not very well known.

If ASUS managed to emulate the EAX 5.0 effects in the CPU, there's no more need of Creative, as simple as that.

I'm pissed just like everybody that not only they failed to publish good drivers, but are threatening to sue decent people that provide them. Their attitude is simply anti-consumer, they wouldn't honestly imagine that daniel_k's drivers would really hurt anything more than the company's ego.

If AMD had tried some stunt like this they would have been out of business by now considering the state of their product lineup.

How much more support do you want? Creative probably has a driver update every couple weeks...thats even better than the graphics card market.

I guess you dont know a Creative product nor do you know how to update a driver
