They should give him a job instead of suing the living daylights out of him.

He did actually do something that Creative was supposed to do in the first place.

Ie. He did the job for Creative for free, I think he should be compensated instead of sued.

Cheers

However, Creative do owned the monopoly for PC-audio in relation to the PC-Gaming. Change is possible but difficult to come by.

Is Creative owned by Singaporean these days? Or the stakes have changed?

Thanks

I thought Auzentech's X-Fi is based on Creative also, doesn't that mean their drivers are similar to Creative Soundblaster X-Fi?

Just asking.

I have already signed the petition woohoo....

I have been a Soundblaster buyer since Soundblaster 16 bit with its crappy 1x CD-Rom drive.

Their drivers has started to go down hill since Soundblaster Audigy 2 series.

If they didn't confront Daniel K that means they would have just continue crippling their cards to pave way for their new soundcards?

I don't remember Nvidia and AMD/ATI ever doing that, I still have several very old Nvidia cards and one ATI Radeon 9250, they still run fine with all the features included with installation of the newest drivers.

I think for purposely misleading and confusing their clients, they should be prosecuted under law to the maximum extent. Imagine what would happen if many Creative customers filed a class action against them, they would bankrupt without a very short period of time.

As they quietly released their new card, we quietly boycott them as well.

An eye for an eye. Totally worth it. Let them know that we don't buy in for something with a minor update selling for full price.
