Technical writing, as the term implies, deals more on the methodological process of doing things; while creative writing is free-flowing.

Technical writings would be (as I think) about the technology.

A creative writings could be about the technology too, and any other subject. But of course; it would be attractive, useful and I think it should be simple and easy to understand. You would go back to read it again, I even would try to follow the writer, make him/her an example for me.

Technical writing is meant to be explanatory in nature - to get information across to an audience.  Creative writing is meant to entertain an audience's imagination.  Creative writing can be either fiction, or non-fiction, technical writing is always non-fiction...we hope!
