creative sucks, i haven't purchased their **bleep** in years, someone make a torrent of Daniel_K drivers so the creative scumbags can never take it down

**bleep** you creative

Hmm.. Good job creative, selling hardware to us which is "VISTA READY!" but in fact lacks a lot of promised features on said OS... Then threatens to sue anyone who makes these cards work like they should. I think creative should be sued for selling us a product which doesnt deliver its promises.

Ill be joining the people not even buying your bull**bleep** hardware again, and ill be giving the same message to other people whenever I can . If you think you can just **bleep** with your consumers your going to be amazed.

CREATIVE, I hope you choke on ur own **bleep**.. Dont even have enough balls to reply... **bleep**ers

if anybody would like to call him

This really pisses me off, I've used Creative Labs products since the 386 days with my SoundBlaster ISA card with the volume control on the back and Dr Sbaitso for dos.

I don't even run the oh-so-crappy vista os, but ignoring your customers like this and ignoring the progression of technology is a BIG mistake. Never going to buy a creative product again. What next? Persuing the Linux Kernel developers for releasing reverse engineered sound blaster drivers because you jackasses are too stuck up to release open source drivers?

Sales and profit does not equal happy customers. Dale-CL... die in a fire.

RE My previous post, my Creative hardware has arrived, at a Landfill.

Oh, and that includes my Zen

DEAR CREATIVE,

I SINCERELY HOPE WHOEVER MANAGES YOUR BUSINESS POLICY DIES IN A FIRE.

ALSO, LULZ AT CREATIVE:

To Whom it May Concern:

While it is not our place to condemn the decisions of Creative regarding this issue, our customers come first. That being said, it has come to our attention that many of our customers are not happy with the products Creative has released nor the support for those products. To wit, we have processed nearly 5,000 return orders within the past 48 hours. While it is not normally in our best interest to publically comment in a manufacturer's forum, the overwhelming concensus has left us little choice. As such, effective tommorow morning newegg.com will suspend sales of the sound cards in question, particularly those indicated as "Vista compatible", pending an investigation into the matter. Those of you whom recently ordered such a card will still recieve your product as indicated in any relevant conversations. While we regret this abrupt decision, it has been deemed neccessary to protect the interest of our consumers. We welcome contact from Creative as soon as is possible so that we may resolve this issue.

I own a Mac now so I have no need for my old Audigy Gamer card that hasn't had driver support in 6 years, since they switched to the Audigy 2 and left original Audigy owners out in the cold. Proud to say that I used HACKED Audigy 2 drivers on the card, since Creative was obviously not interested in supporting its customers.

I have a set of Cambridge Megaworks 5.1 speakers from a few years back. Since they're owned by Creative, I am going to go buy a set of Logitech x5500's and put the Megaworks speakers on Craigslist, effectively eliminating my household of ANYTHING Creative.

I have also signed the online Boycott Creative petition and Digg'd it too, so other people will have a chance to see it.

I am also pleased as punch to see this post from Newegg on the Boycott Creative website:
