I'm not very tech-oriented, but here's my situation.
I have a Quicksilver powermac and OS 9.2.2. I'll buy a PB in the coming months and update then to 10.x.
Right now, I cannnot buy a foldable keyboard (from Compaq/HP) for my iPAQ 2200 until I know that I can update the software drivers.
And since the those drivers are in .exe file format, I cannot download and install those drivers.
Believe it or not, I posted a letter at the complaint page of HP's site, encouraging them to use a .cab file format - or some mac-friendly format.
If you'd like to lend your voice to encourage HP not to assume that all computer owners have PCs, then here is the url.

If you have any advice for me, I'd be glad to receive it.

I am now going to tell the computer what he can do with a life-times supply of chocolate.

.exe means it's a windows program. It's not a matter of changing the file format, it's a matter of rewriting the entire driver.
