Please, explain this one to me, because I fail to see or understand your point on even the tiniest level.

According to Creative's own FAQ, sound cards from the X-Fi and Audigy families are incapable of decoding Dolby Digital or DTS, due to the fact that "these functions are not supported at driver level in Windows Vista."
In Windows XP Dolby Digital and DTS work, daniel_k's drivers
made them work in Vista as well. This is only one example.
@imperialreign
Is it stealing to get "the same damn thing" working in Vista too?
Edit:
Last summer Creative, charged its customers a $9.99 fee for the privilege of legacy EAX support under Windows Vista.
As a comparisson...What if Microsoft charged us $9.99 for each service pack for XP for example? Would that be ok?
