Jest to kolejna ofiara smetnej polityki marketingowej IBM ...

Sad, but apparently true. Suggest a deluge of email, and sign-ups for
their 'Creative Connection' program (which asks for, and offers OS/2 as an
option) your operating system. Sign-up url:

The actual text announcing dropping OS/2 support:
http://www.creaf.com/wwwnew/tech/faqs/os2sup.html
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.
