I beleive that the R&D that was written-off is R&D that will not go forward. This was primarly Ensoniq.

I think this tells us something of what CREAF has in mind going forward.

I beleive that they bought Ensoniq mainly to put a competitor out of commission, capture a brand name and their customers. I beleive that they will be phasing-out the current Ensoniq products and phasing-in their own PCI products.

There have been comments here expressing confusion about what Creative was going to do with two PCI product lines. I think we now know - in this case, Creative bought market share, not technology.
