    I mean, does the Linux driver for the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series of sound cards offer the same full functionality as the Windows XP/Vista driver?

    Maybe you should ask the vendor why they don't support Linux...?

  8. the reason on Windows 7 To Be Called ... Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    The reason that they are calling it "Windows 7" is because if they called it "Windows 6", people would refer to it as "Windows 666" and that is way too close to the truth for the MS marketing department.
