The actual text announcing dropping OS/2 support:

Future OS/2 Support
In response to our OS/2 users, Creative has determined that it can not
provide additional support for OS/2. Creative has committed to maintaining
the current level of support for the OS/2 community for our existing product
line. However, we cannot commit to future releases or enhanced features for
new product and technologies.
Currently, OS/2 does not have sufficient multimedia system services to
enable us to deliver drivers that have Full-Duplex audio or software
wave-table & waveguide synthesis.
Additionally, IBM has not announced an OS/2 roadmap that will deliver the
needed system services for better multimedia support. Further, IBM has not
demonstrated that they are very enthusiastic about the future of OS/2 from a
consumer standpoint.
Creative values each of its customers, regardless of OS choice. However, due
to the large cost of creating and supporting products over a various system
configurations, and the continued maintenance of older products, it is no
longer possible to support each and every consumer choice.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
