Funny how selective memory works, eh? -
I worked for Creative Labs at the time of XP's release and I remember all sorts of driver problems. OpenGL ICD drivers for one.. It was a considerable amount of time before any OpenGL games ran at a decent rate in XP.

Yes well Creative aren't known for their driver writing skills; heh

Back in those days their drivers were pretty solid except for smp.
Regardless, everyone else was having the same ICD problems. Had nothing to do with Creative's abilities to write drivers.
