X-Fi is just not a go really regarding those incredible driver bloat/issues. If there was EAX support in Vista/win 7 - the choice would have been easy. Vista audio stack effectively killed Creatives 20 years domination in soundcard market.
I still remember when I got the 8bit Soundblaster Pro II - running in a ISA port - it was the king of the days. Incredible sound and quality - and it stayed that way until the Sb Live which was a disaster. Then they got their last nail with the new audio stack(which is better for everyone).
