Creative Getting Creative This CES with Zii
Known for decades as a company that specialises in digital entertainment products, Creative is up to something new. The company is working on what it calls "Stemcell Computing". It is reportedly making a processing chip or architecture called Zii. A teaser micro-site of the same has been launched. The Zii processing chip is expected to give Creative the new direction the company has been striving for, with announcements of products incorporating the Stemcell Computing technology being expected at the upcoming CES event. Not much is known about Creative's plans at this point in time. The teaser goes with the tag-line "Everything you know is about to change", so we are expecting something big, or significant at least.

Sounds like its going to be some sort of energy saving thing with all the flowers and stemcell stuff....? i dunno.
Or it could be a mp3 player the size of a match head.
X-fi works fine on vista for me
I know that biological cells can be used for computing, but this tech is a long way off. So as far as what they are referring to as stem cells I have no clue.
Either way, fudzilla.com said it perfectly:
"Whatever it is Creative is working on, we think they should've chosen the product name, which is course seems all too similar to Wii and the stemcell computing subtitle with a bit more care, as stemcell related stuff is a very controversial thing."
another prime example is the recent hullabaloo with J.Satriani & UK based comercial alternative Indie rockers - Coldplay
That, or its a retarded nintendo character who has the ability to regenerate limbs. seriously, wtf is with that name?
It better not be something stupid, like a replacement to EAX.
x-fi:
My guess is, its sound related. Maybe its X-Ram, but something that will get used.
