Thanks NTCompatible, The following schedule outlines Windows XP driver release availability for various Creative product families. We expect this information to change often in the coming months.

In the UK and several places in the US, copies of Microsoft Flight simulator where taken of the shelves. The theory being that the terrorists could have used the program to train for their mission. Also, the new version of the game has been delayed slightly as the World Trade Centers were being removed. Many other games were pulled such as Spider Man. Also, many movies were pulled.
In other MS news, the case between MS and the US Justice Department has been delayed a week. This will further hinder any attempt to stop the shipping of Windows XP.
The president of Akamai was killed in one of the planes that hit the WTC. Akamai is involved with distribution of images and files all over the web. They are the Connexion of images and more.
Yet, I do not think these will be the real effects on the industry. I believe that consumer confidence is going to drop to the bottom. The market for computer games, new processors, and better operating systems will not exist. This will create a massive slowdown as to the future of computer development. This will mean all our news days in a few months will look like the last week’s stories.
As citizens of the world, we must continue to purchase as we have previously. This is the only way that we will salvage the tech industry and many others. Current war does not have a massive effect on the productivity of companies as it did in the past. I do not expect war to have a positive or negative effect on the economy.
