When will Creative recognize the linux opportuni

Question

Just bought a Zen Touch. Pretty nice device, but where
is the linux commitment?
Why am I forced to use an OS(M$), that has nothing to
do with the MP3-Player to operate it's
Although I'm already use kzenexplorer, libnjb I definetly
would like to see firmware/bugfix and development support
from Creative for non M$ OSes.
Cheers,

Answer 1

Thanks PeeBee and penguinking3,
I actually use libnjb and kzenexplorer on SuSE 9.3.
The point I wanted to make is
a) that libnjb is reverse engineered without the help
of Creative.
b) that firmware updates take into account that there are
other OSes and therefore should provide bug fixing and
feature enhancements without being forced to use M$.
c) that the linux opportunity is there for Creative
to also differeciate themselves.
HP recognized it with their printers as lots of others did, too.
It just needs to open up the protocol for Creative to
leverage this market for almost no additional cost, as the
linux community is going to develop it's own management software.
The argument of cost over M$ doesn't get any better the
more often it is being used.
I strongly hope that some Creative representati'ves read this
here, too and take hopefully take action.
