(like the sample surfaces they sent to companies like cnet to use for testing their BlueTrack system). Glenn is exactly right- this response is totally from an inferiority complex...it's like an angry little kid yelling "so what!" out of jealousy haha. MS got beat at their own game...again, and can't take it. I have several friends with either a glass top coffee table or work desk..I myself have BOTH, and am looking into this mouse for exactly that reason... forget a mouse pad, or having to find a magazine or something to put on the coffee table when I have my laptop out there. For me, this feature is definitely useful. lol, really MS…how many people use their mice on polished marble surfaces??

My first mouse lasted 12 years and was only retired as PS/2 ports were taking over (it was serial). For me, Logitech has always had better ergonomics (at least for right-handers) than the equivalent MS product. I currently use the MX & VX Revolution mice and my wife uses a V220 (she has small hands) on her laptop & desktop. Their software wasn't always the best but the hardware has almost always been top-notch. I've also been using the Logitech illuminate keyboard ( http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/4740&cl=us,en ). Very handy when working in reduced-light conditions. Even under normal light, having back-lit keys is a nice bonus. I’ve been using Logitech mice since 1985.

In my experience, MS mice suck. I currently have a 5 button MS mouse for my lappy. It feels flimsy and buttons 4 and 5 that are used as back and forward buttons in a browser (and even in windows explorer) only work about 15% of the time. Logitech have proven themselves time and time again. I just hope they don't abuse their strong market position like some other businesses <..> MS’s response is just an inferiority complex.

Microsoft certainly should know - after all, they have a great track record of foreseeing industry trends and meeting users' requirements over the past several years, don't they? “Microsoft has responded to the launch by saying there’s no need for this technology for most users.”
