This step backwards in sound on a pc causes, that our cards cannot fully do their desired jobs. That is why creative got massive problems with microsoft (they implement the sound generating methods from xbox), you are far away from the eax future plans, which sounded great.

I am not that aware of that topic, but it makes me angry to get no full hardware support for my soundcards anymore. Clearly poor in my opinion, that the idea of eax died with these changes of microsoft and that the sound fell back into "medieval" drastically said.

Good points, I miss EAX in Win 7.
