I'm sorry but I have to side with creative on this one, even though I don't really like their products.
Thats just a nice way saying stop it or we are going to take legal action.

I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't have a problem with backing Daniel_K if there was a lawsuit. After all, people won't use Vista because a lot of things don't work properly...he was helping to make creative cards work with it.

Even if its a $20 product they need to support it. If they say it works with vista it has to... I don't care if its $20.

Here is the "official" petition.... been around all day anyway:

http://www.petitiononline.com/crtvlabs/petition.html


@ Chipp: The stocks, man, the stocks... hell of a costly April Fool's joke

Users destroying their cards, forums rampant, and no mods or admins to police it

Foul language throughout, links to the Pirate Bay and porn popping up??? No way it is a joke... it is a riot of angry consumers...

I'm guessing Chipp is referring to the Newegg situation and not the entire daniel_k situation?

You never know... Forbes was on top of it on a Sunday, and this started on Friday.... by close Friday, Creative's stocks were already starting to slip and people were "digging" like crazy... I could see Newegg keeping "an eye" on the situation... maybe that's why they can't enact it until tommorow since it is Sunday? I don't know.
