I am quite glad I came across this. I had Creative on a purchasing blacklist for 5+ years now, and was just thinking about giving them another chance...

How did they get onto this list? By pulling the EXACT SAME STUNT you guys are talking about for Vista and Audigy and I experienced with XP and Live. The strategy to "support" the customer was pretty much:

        "Send us $20 to get a CD with new drivers on it, which... by the way, won't work either"

Leaving the user to try and find hacked up drivers on the web that actually worked worth a damn.

So... I see now that some things will never change. And I extend my blacklisting of Creative's products another 5 or more years.

I refuse to purchase anything from a vendor which, as a matter of policy, holds the paying customer hostage for more money just to use the item for it's most basic purposes.

You know, the difference between this company and the Titanic is that the Titanic had paying customers.
