Has anybody heard if/when this is ever going to happen? Not being able to fully use my mouse in 10.1 is one of the things that keeps me out of X. Any information on USB Overdrive for OS X?

I've been watching M$'s pages, still no news.
You'd think that if they can get an X version of Office out, they could write a set of drivers.
Still better than being stuck with a "one-button" mouse..

Edit:
Just went to the "Contact us" page for intellimouse http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouse/contactus.asp and sent a request for info on driver progress for MacOS X. More people writing in would probably help.

well, MS really has nothing to do with it, since their drivers are just a licensed version of USB overdrive, by that cool alessandro guy.

(which explains the note in the FAQ about him not doing OEM work anymore--doncha love MS? )

anyway, stop by www.usboverdrive.com and let him know how you feel. he says the X version is in development, and i bet he's aware of the demand for his product, so it'd probably be better to offer words of encouragement and support than make outright demands of him.
