Greetings to all other users here,

first I have to thank Daniel_K, because of of his work for ALL of us.

YOUR work let me use my product. Without YOU I wouldn't be able to use MY creative soundcard.

I payed a lot of my money for stereo sound under vista. The same I got almost for free with my onboard-soundchip.

Daniel brought the sound and the equivalent of my money back that I payed once to creative. It would have been better spent in daniel's purse. I just registered here today to thank him! CL's alchemy for audigy for money was the beginning of YOUR end creative and I'm proud to see it with one of your cards - keeping them for my private museum and using them with Daniels modded drivers, before I change next time to a non-creative card, like I did with DFX's VOODOO 2. YOUR way of treating your customers and the only one who make your drivers a driver that is the name worth it. Maybe only few people step to this forum, but be not to careless, what you start here. I just visited the forum here, because I looked daily for the newest work of Daniel, because I have to save my money instead of buying all the time new stuff, that is more expensive and worse than what I have, e.g. my sb audigy 2 zs and your newer x-fi audigy. CL squeezes the money out of their customers and like the users here can clearly see that they just go away instead of paying for drivers like they did with CL's poor alchemy, even if it is no problem to get the newest version of alchemy for audigy without the need to activate it for free. But it's not worth it. CL does the same failure with Daniel K. like Nvidia did with omegadriver long ago. Forcing their customers with crippling the drivers to buy a new product stays in the mind of many customers. Thats why I never bought a Nvidia product again like now with one of your products. There is no need for doing such. My whole family uses creative cards, but I am responisble for their computers, in future with "CL outside"-sticker. I am from Germany and your way of treating customers is watched here as well.

With or without Daniel's work, CL is dead, but they still doesn't recognize it.

The future is onboard and maybe producers of soundcards with excellent drivers. I doubt it's CL.

OVER and OUT

Look people... a year or two later, you'll look back at this and wonder about all the time you wasted with this.

A year or two from now when I'm still using my M-Audio Delta 1010 I'll be wondering what ever happened to Creative and how they made themselves fool of the week back in 2008. No doubt I will lol. This cat is out of the bag, and there aint no putting it back in. Feel free to refrain from complaining about people complaining about the sham company Creative have become, becuase no one cares.

HA HA HA. You slimy corporate minions. These drivers are now EVERYWHERE and there is nothing you can do about it. *Once-loyal* customers now have the option of downloading the TORRENT of the FIXED drivers. And we all know torrents are basically unstoppable. For those of you who detest Creative's worthless attempt at maintaining totalitarian control over their users, here's the link:

Go ahead, Creative... take this source down, too. There's plenty more where that came from.

Monday..go check on Creatives Stock quote.
They dropped 3% roughly from last close, which is fairly substantial, monday will bring quite a hit and a few positions at creative will be made avaliable (VP Corporate Communications).

HAHAHHA!

This might very well be the end for creative if investors read into everything here, worthless stock.
