Did Creative just dug its own grave?

Just recently Creative sold its building in a sell and lease back scheme. News here. Some claims that Creative is just building capital for its next launch of products etc but I feel that it is the downfall of the company soon.

Shocking recent news reveal that Creative is probably going to sue a driver modder who actually helps Creative product consumers to be able to use Creative Soundcards on Windows Vista properly. The issue arose because the products were claim to be Vista compatible but not at all. While IP rights etc may be violated by the modder, afaik, he did not place his name all over the driver etc. Asking for donations to those who valued his work properly overstepped the mark.

However, instead of doing damage control, they are now just sort of 'hushing' the issue over it.
Infer your own views over this issue, kindly read the Creative forum and you will know more about it.
