FreedomFighter writes "Since the release of Windows Vista, Creative has
promised their Sound Cards as being 'Vista Ready'. Unfortunately, as
many unlucky customers did discover, this is not true. What the users
actually found were buggy, feature crippled drivers. Creative insisted
that features such as Decoding of Dolby® Digital and DTS(TM) signals
and DVD-Audio which worked fine in WinXP, would not work on windows
Vista. With Creative releasing less than one new driver a year, things
seemed bleak. Fortunately, a talented user, Daniel_K, was recently able
to 'fix' many of the drivers, enabling the incompatible features and
also fixing many bugs. Just today Creative has decided to put a stop to
this. They removed all links to his modified drivers, and banned
several users who were posting links to the now banned drivers."
