MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

great news for windows owners and anti-ipod users

Infects for Sure TM

Serves them right!

Windows is so awesome.

Wow, buy a Creative MP3 player and get free malware! Sounds like a viral marketing campaign to me...

Creative Zen Peeons.

hehe

Imagine the repercussions if the iPod were to be shipped with some form of virus.....oh wait, I must be trippin'. That'll never happen in a million years.

I know Billy-boy must be so proud.

roflmao. First Rio dies and now this...Apple might have more than 80% of the portable audio market now, that's close to Nintendo's numbers in handheld consoles.

Thanks for posting MDN! My first submission:D

3,700 units = a full month of Creative's MP3 player sales.

Too good to be true. Someone please confirm it is a joke.

Jeeeeeeezzzz, sux big time having to do anything on Windows and MS lemmings world.

OHOUHAHAHAHAHHAHOAEHEOHEHAHAHOAHAOHAH

Good one bvdecicco!

Gives a new meaning to "Plays for Sure"

Hmmm

Rio Karma - slam on desk to get it to work (out of business)

Creative Zen - packs viruses with every product sold


Lets go to work propaganda ministers!

From the translated press release: "With the defectiveness of our company, we apologize the fact that very much annoyance was applied the customer and to the related everyone deeply."

Bad translation or refreshing candor?

You can't make this stuff up!

I guess now they should change the name of the company to Destructive.

Wow, I'm really impressed. An iPod-killer that harms it's owner.

I can't wait to point this out to one of my friends that bought a Creative player despite several people recommending an iPod.

I won't laugh I won't laugh I won't laugh
SPFFFFFFFFFT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

Yet another proprietary tactic being used by Bill's minions... I can't access their Willuk software. Where can I download that "Windows Explorer" for my G5?
I'm tired of the Mac's lack of support for Windows software... I'm switching back as soon as I can save up $300.00 for top of the line DULL!

Is it just me, or has the past year been REALLY BAD for windows users !!

3700 units shipped since July...
That's a whopping 1800-1900 units per months, compared with three to four million iPods in the same period.
Time to ask for the check, Creative.

Not only that, but they also spelled "Neon" wrong!

at least those lucky windows users have many more choices in which computer they can infect with the virus...unlike the no-choice option of itunes and ipod. HA!

First post! Love my iPod.

...Boy, I didn't think they could pack any more features into a Zen!

"NEW! Why log online to get a Worm. Plug in your Zen!"

Andy C.

LOL. Viral marketing.

My favorite part about this is that if you look along the right side of the page, there's an advertisment for a way to get a free Creative Zen.

Umm… yeah… keep it.

Creative virality?

I guess they lowered the requirements to work at Creative becaue, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO HAVE A VIRUS SHIPPED WITH YOUR PRODUCTS AND REALIZE IT A MONTH LATER!!

Reason #1243124 Why Apple is better : They don't employ morons.

When will the madness end!?!

When will Apple start *really* marketing their better computing experience, i.e. OS X et al?

It makes no sense to wipe the planet clean of the dog shit that is Windows right now.

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand...

Watch out Creative you may be next.

Liability? I wonder if this is the first time that a company's product has shipped with a virus or worm. If so, what is Creative's liability if they destroy data or cause someone to have to go out a purchase a virus program to remove this. How would a consumer go about removing this virus? Is Creative going to pay for a virus software for this HUGE mistake? Wow, way to go Creative!

The shake-up is starting to happen. First Rio, next Creative, then Napster and Real.
