Mmm, interesting.

Of course, technically it's Creative's product and if they don't want it 
to be able to do X, they can legally do that. But given that their 
game's been rumbled, I would say that's be rather stupid to try to stick 
to this stretagy now... But hey, what do I know about running a vast 
stunningly successful multinational conglomerate?

I'm not worried. My old soundcard is VIA, my new one is impronouncible, 
and I won't be installing Vista for a *very* long time. (Hopefully, mmm, 
*never*. But we'll see...)
