Sad, but apparently true.  Suggest a deluge of email, and sign-ups for
their 'Creative Connection' program (which asks for, and offers OS/2 as an
option) your operating system. Sign-up url:

The actual text announcing dropping OS/2 support:
http://www.creaf.com/wwwnew/tech/faqs/os2sup.html

     Future OS/2 Support

     In response to our OS/2 users, Creative has determined that it can
not provide additional support for OS/2. Creative has
     committed to maintaining the current level of support for the OS/2
community for our existing product line. However, we cannot
     commit to future releases or enhanced features for new product and
technologies. 

     Currently, OS/2 does not have sufficient multimedia system services
to enable us to deliver drivers that have Full-Duplex audio
     or software wave-table & waveguide synthesis. 

     Additionally, IBM has not announced an OS/2 roadmap that will deliver
the needed system services for better multimedia
     support. Further, IBM has not demonstrated that they are very
enthusiastic about the future of OS/2 from a consumer
     standpoint. 

     Creative values each of its customers, regardless of OS choice.
However, due to the large cost of creating and supporting
     products over a various system configurations, and the continued
maintenance of older products, it is no longer possible to
     support each and every consumer choice. 

     Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
