Good to see USB devices on there, although I suppose many peripherals could fall under that heading. My Logitech mouse has been incredibly flaky since the 10.6.4 update, mostly in terms of drag-and-drop functionality. So for example, rearranging text in Word or dragging icons from .dmgs to the Applications folder can be a three-, four-, or five-attempt process.

I forgot about osx. Still in beta?

It certainly feels like it when the mouse doesn't seem to "grip" the selected object. Hard to pinpoint, though, as it could be my aging mouse or OS X's interaction with this particular Logitech model.

I see what you did there. Yeah, but I wish they would just get on with 10.7 and surprise us with some new features. What features, I have no idea.

Facetime for Mac would be a start
