What's the reason for this delay? It's due to Microsoft's Vista: "It
has taken more resources than expect[ed] to redesign our software and
drivers for Vista."
Sucks for Creative, don't it?
One of their techs could have written drivers for Linux in a few days,
if they'd have let 'im/'er.
Stupid. Pathetically, institutionally, stupid.
