How to shoot yourself in the foot, Creative Labs-style
Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2008 6:51 pm
After waiting over a year for Creative Labs to release working Vista drivers for their sound cards, Daniel_K took it upon himself to mod their drivers and make them work right. The "pointy-haired bosses" who run Creative got their panties all in a twist and shut him down, including deleting his posts on Creative's support forums. In return, they got a firestorm of complaints about Creative's inability/unwillingness to produce fully functional drivers, along with a crapload of ill-will from customers.

This is what happens when you let the Marketing department run a technology company.... I won't be buying or recommending any Creative Labs products in the foreseeable future.
