forums.creative.com — The back story: Since the release of Windows Vista, Creative has promised their Sound Cards as being "Vista Ready". Unfortunately, as many unlucky customers did discover, this is not true. What the users actually found were buggy, feature crippled drivers.

If they didn't advertise it as ready to work on Vista, then you might possibly have a point.

OMG.. this is extreme bulls**t on Creative's part. I've been a purchaser of Creative Labs products since the first Sound Blaster Card for my 286 12Mhz.. They were the leaders.. but over all, their drivers have been a royal piece of s**t. Complete disregard for the happiness of their consumers and costumers who keep them in business. I remeber the driver for their SB live cards that checked for updates.. it absolutely never worked. It was just a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident program) which stayed in your memory task bar right next to the time clock taking your valuable memory. A lot of things were broken in their drivers.. so much so they had to add alchemy because they couldn't add EAX to vista (due to vista not giving drivers inherent controls). Creative has enough money to buy good developers to create awesome drivers - But instead you have a stupid corporate CEO or CFO calling the shots in a technology company. I bet the CEO doesn't even know where he saved his last document and all he does is play solitaire. To Creative labs..... Shape up or move out because you will be replaced. From now on, I will STOP buying creative products and stop recommending them.

I had no probelms with the first version of Windoes 95. A poor worker blames his tools. Don't blame Windows 95 for your ignorance in using a computer. MILLIONS of people used Windows with absolute no problem . The fat htat you couldn't sure as s**t does not make you SMARTEr than those of us that did not have any problems.

Umm... Have you HEARD an X-Fi performing at it's best? Especially in games that it's designed for? Puts even the best on board sound to shame. Not only that, the Fatal1ty edition like I have has 64MB on-board sound memory therefore leaves more system memory available. But after hearing about this, I won't be buying any more creative products, and probably won't be upgrading to XP for a bit either.

Lucky, I have a Mac and don't have to put up with Creative's crap.
