I agree with Creative's point, but god, they should back him up. Geez...

Also, wouldn't this mean Omega or XtremeG drivers are in violation of copyright?

some places get away with it as they use open source drivers and just port them to Windows... I am not sure of the legality of Omega drivers...


also looks like DailyTech got ahold of the story as well (with a link to a torrent of the drivers)
