subject: Creative Labs Drops OS/2

It seems that Creative Labs has made the decision to stop supporting OS/2.  
The full text of their statement appears below.  You can send your comments

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.
