Here's a copy of an email message sent to Logitech customer support and the response. It really boils my blood to see a company like Logitech only supporting Micro$oft OS's. Don't they realize that there are many other OS's beside Micro$oft and that some of their soon-to-be-former customer's might actually want their system to something more than one task at a time without crashing?
