Christan Turbocharged January 4, 2009 Share January 4, 2009 Creative - non government CSM - government So u still think CSM will close? They've been losing $ for many years but still operating.

Beehive3783 Twincharged January 4, 2009 Share January 4, 2009 (edited) One of the issue of Daniel K saga with Creative. http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/04/daniel_k-who-fi.html This should be what will lead to Creative's imminent doom. I was prepared to buy a Creative sound card until I knew of this, and all potential Creative purchases held off indefinitely. Their driver support is thoroughly and royally screwed.

Pringles Neutral Newbie January 4, 2009 Share January 4, 2009 I bought a wireless headphone from Creative about a year back. Strange thing is it only works with creative products. When hooked to my 2 laptops, Ipod and TV, all had background static. Brought it back and was given credits instead of refund. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
