Creative Labs users up in arms

Looks like one of my posts was quite spot-on, that it was also addressed in the Inquirer:

Their X-Fi cards create incompatibilites with the nVidia nForce4 chipset by
refusing to share resources. Whether it's the motherboard manufacturer's fault
or Creative's fault, Creative was later, they should have worked around the
problem. Well it's their loss - the people who bought motherboards with nForce4
chipsets, who are actually the main target segment of the X-Fi enthusiast sound
cards, didn't bother much with the X-Fi.

From this Inquirer article:
PUNTERS using Creative Lab's Sound Blaster X-Fi card are so miffed that the
outfit will not fix its bugs in the product they have got an online petition
together.

And from the Hardwarezone thread on this, seems like Singaporeans are pretty pissed with Creative, including comments like:
Like I always said, their QC department really deserve the sack.

Vote with your wallets. Don't buy Creative.


This deserves the classic LOL!
