(Nasdaq: CREAF), the world's leading provider of multimedia products for the PC, today announced that Microsoft Corp.

The Microsoft PDC is being held in Denver, Colorado, October 11-15, 1998. Creative will be the sole supplier of PC-DVD kits for the Microsoft PDC. Sponsored by the Microsoft developer relations group (DRG), the PDC is an informative, intensive, technical conference for the Windows NT 5.0 application programming professional. Unlike past years, where the take away materials were provided on CD-ROM, this year's conference materials will be provided in DVD format. The conference materials are free on DVD, however, attendees will need to pay a fee for the information on CD-ROM. The move to provide all conference materials on DVD-ROM further underscores Microsoft's and the industry's commitment to the DVD format. In addition to promoting and selling Creative's PC-DVD Encore kits at Microsoft's PDC, Creative's PC-DVD solutions will be featured and offered on Microsoft's Web site, in Microsoft direct mail pieces, through MSDN news flashes and more.

"Microsoft is committed to providing developers with the tools and technologies they need to make their businesses and products successful," said Tod Nielsen, general manager of developer relations at Microsoft. "Our goal at the PDC is to show developers how they can build applications that lower the cost of development and deployment by using the rich set of services provided by Windows NT 5.0.
