PS: I love my 3 Turbo Twists....

Thanks, Frizz.  I appreciate the generalized sentiment, as it applies to all vendors of these high resolution devices.  It would be nice if someone could include a write up in the wiki pertaining specifically to these 64-bit OS's, as they tend to be more challenging thanks to MS locking the systems down as they have.  Maybe Derrick's write-up should be added....any volunteers?

BTW: I think the issue is more with Vista 64-bit than XP.  I am able to modify XP's poll rate with the utility linked in one of these posts.  It took me while to find one that worked,  but I did...and I didn't have to "unlock" anything.

Good info to know.  That's my cue to avoid Vista when considering a 64-bit OS.

I decided on XP x64 over Vista for the sole reason that I am not interested in daddy (ie: MS) constantly connecting/connected to my box.

Reasons 2 through 10 to avoid Vista :)

BTW, is that on all Vista versions, or only x64?

*edit*

Thank you to whoever added Derrick's Vista x64 write up to the Mouse Polling Wiki Page.  You guys work quick! :)

Thats because when we launched our high-res spinner we revised both these products so that backspin does not happen. Yes they have the poll-rate limitation but they do not backspin. Raising the poll rate is not the only way to prevent backspin.
