Vista Drivers From Creative... No Time Soon!
I own quite a bit if Creative kit but if there has been a SINGLE comapny I can point out as NOT developing Windows Vista drivers for the community - at a pace the community expects, it is Creative.
WHY?
I have no idea but it does make me now think twice about buying their kit...
Sure there are a few Beta 2 and RC1 drivers out there, see there KB article:

But they have been just pain slow at getting them out and where are the drivers for RC2!!!
Compare that to the situation over at NVIDIA HQ and you will see they have fully supported, WHQL-certified graphics drivers for its video cards under Vista RC2:

Come on Creative, you can do better than this and the community EXPECTS it!
