Creative failed epicly!
You buy your Creative soundcard plug it in and install the drivers on vista only to find out it is not working…
So you go to the Creative forums and find a working driver made by a guy Daniel_K NOT by the Creative company it self…
You install the driver and it works fine! This guy Daniel_K really did a good job.
But Creative is not so happy with Daniel_K because he made changes to the driver and he is distributing them without the OK from Creative!
He is distributing the drivers but he is not asking any money for it!!
Now place yourself in the shoes of Creative what would you do?|
RIGHT! You would hire this guy or ask him to let Creative distribute the drivers that work with vista and give him credit for the work!
But Creative decides to make a really dumb move!
They posted a message to Daniel_K you can read it here:

They have now replaced it by a message that tells us that they are now trying to work out a solution WITH independent third parties.
The orginal message was a bad one telling Daniel_K to stop distributing the drivers and that he is doing illegal work.. This is such a bad move and this is not only my opinion!
You can read up to 226 pages of angry comments and counting!
