What is worse Larry, is that I knew My sidewinder was NOT going to work

AND since it kinda has been left in the bad place since XP service pack2
(wasn't even technically for XP at all you know...)

So I know (I bought it) Im going to Vista, because I have to, get used to
it
(already geting calls on "how do I...?") you know... So I buy the G25,
thought you guys said it worked LOL... I didnt double check and I
wouldnt
have noitced that small bit on Logi website about game controllers,
looking
at 1st. Damn it, I could have saved 300, since g25 sounds like is as
worthless in Vista as my MS wheel, which at least worked (could NOT
change
any settings though) when I upgraded XP to Vista on my test machine.

Could it be that you guys talk about WinVista 64Bit only ? What I heard is
that the 32Bit version of Windows Vista works fine.

Yeah, I know about that. They emailed it to me. They are plastering that
gibberish everywhere.

V5 shipped with the wheel. V5.1 is supposed to be the Vista version.

larry, did you see version 5 is out?

Larry, are you using vista 64 bit? if so it seems the consensus is 64 bit
just is NOT good for gaming.

did you see this?

and is it describing what you say your problem is? I mean that yeah the
game and wheels work, you just can't change what "keypress" that each
certain button sends? if so, oh well that is good enough so far for me.
as long as the wheel will work.

Larry enlightened us with:
The specifications for both the G15 Keyboard and G25 wheel state:

"Windows® XP or Windows VistaT "

NEITHER product works properly with Vista. The software for both of
them does not install correctly or work correctly.

And they are being wishy-washy about when support will be provided.

How can they get away with this? Does the "Vista Compatible"
certification mean nothing in reality?
