Plus several others I haven't found relevant articles for.
These problems STILL exist, and it's been over a year since the Audigy was released. Apparently, these problems also exist on the Audigy2. Creative say they've been trying to fix these issues, but seem to introduce even more bugs for each new driver they release.
I have been on Creative's back for over 6 months, with nearly each reply telling me that it's an issue with my settings. They finally admitted in November that they have a real issue on their hands here, but have still failed to address it.
I own an Audigy Platinum and vow that it will be the last Creative card I will ever buy. A company that cannot put forward a decent regression test plan for their drivers doesn't deserve my business.
I reckon they should do a deal with Subway. What better incentive to get fat geeks like me to lose weight (and not get so much greasy crap on my keyboard)
A recap of events:
1. Microsoft gets told to remove IE from their OS releases
2. Microsoft claims IE is too deeply integrated to remove
3. Court requests that Microsoft release source to prove IE cannot be removed
4. Microsoft claims that releasing source code would be a "national security threat"
5. Microsoft attempts to push their software into the Pentagon...
This reinforces their "national security threat" claim. They cannot release source without putting the Pentagon at risk.
If Microsoft are successful, the court would probably just have to take Microsoft's word about IE.
Because Microsoft is under pressure to release their source code, Im guessing theyre looking for a way to backup their "cannot release because it's a security threat" excuse. What better way than to convince the Pentagon to go Microsoft, then tell the courts "We cannot release the source because it is confidential now that we have the pentagon under contract"
