According to a user post on the Creative Labs forum who spotted an entry on the Windows Vista Hardware Compatibility list, Creative is planning to release a successor for the X-Fi sound card. Though, it can’t be proven as the entry is gone from the Microsoft site already.

Looking at Creative Labs’ current market position, it is probably an effort to avoid bankruptcy. They had to sell their headquarters also. Releasing a new piece of hardware brings more income than improving the support of an already available product.

Good fact for old X-Fi owners

The Creative Labs soundcard drivers are originally built to support older products also. With a few modifications, many of them could be modified to be working with older Creative Labs products. The chance is high for X-Fi owners that there will be a modified driver which finally supports the full X-Fi features on all operating systems.
