Oh, there's more to it than that. Creative was set to launch a new line of cards to for Vista, claiming that the more advanced features on the existing cards could not be made to work in Vista. It turns out Creative simply didn't want to enable the features in the drivers, since they'd prefer you to buy a new card. Then the hacked drivers came out, Creative forced them to be pulled (in fact I think they threw lawyers at the issue), etc, etc.
