Well, yes, but
Final release candidates were available in September, more than five months ago. The software was released to manufacturing - not beta anymore - on November 4. That's nearly five months ago.

If you follow the link to the Creative site I included in the last graf, you'll see they plan to release drivers for some currently shipping products in Q4 2007, one full year after the software was released. That's disgraceful.
