By mistake I purchased Microsoft's webcam. It forced me to install Windows XP though I was happy with my Windows 2000 (It didn't allow my son to load latest computer games :-). It further required new patches to be downloaded. At the end of wasting hours and spending extra bucks to purchase Windows XP, I managed to use the webcam.</p> <p>It is surprising that MS h/w products don't even support not-so older versions of their own OS.</p> Hi Om, Not sure I want to buy Microsoft’s non-software products..here is my story..

It is surprising that MS h/w products don’t even support not-so older versions of their own OS.

Vista supports using Flash drives as RAM or memdisk (put your swap-file on there).

Were you able to buy it in advance somehow? Seems like an important part of the review process that's missing: how/where did you get the mouse and what is the exchange for writing the review?</p> <p>It's funny reading that it was more friendly installing on a Mac than on Vista. Poor ol' Vista. It's starting to get the Windows ME treatment.</p> Om – was this a loaner review mouse you were sent? Were you able to buy it in advance somehow?

However, it's disappointing to see yet another right-handed mouse. Oh well.</p> The memory makes sense if you share a computer at work, use Internet cafes, etc., and want to use your own mouse.
