XF-I No EAX RC2--- Does this mean Creative is going to loss its ed

Well if Vista is'nt going to have EAX that means I can buy other brands of Sound Cards now. You(Creative can't hold the market now) Everything eles works, but I heard Microsoft Killed EAX with Vista. So should I be selling my X-Fi and going with another brand I havent made up my mined yet, but I have to say the new drivers do work better than the last ones. BF2 no X-Fi only hardware which is the lack of EAX right?
I need to play a few more games, and see how I feel about this.

I would suggest reading the "Audio in Windows Vista" post that's on the front page right now. It should clarify how EAX and Vista are going to work, and why DirectSound hardware acceleration is gone. Most recent game engines utilize OpenAL anyway, so this mostly hurts older games, and unfortunately it hurts them on every sound card, not just Creative's.
