I haven't had anything Creative since and old SB Live! Value soundcard, and a webcam with the drivers from Hell.  |
Well, from what I understand Creative is mad because the features were intentionally crippled for Vista so they could force users to buy new cards from a company they are liscensing their sound processor for the X-Fi to.
I guess profit margins were down, considering they are selling their HQ.
BTW, the Audigy drivers have since been reallowed by Creative, but the X-Fi still are not.

I love life...Yeah, I'm sad, but at the same time, I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness.
Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.
The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed limitless when in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for the want of an understanding ear. - Stephen King, intro to "The Body."
