looked into the loadout manager software last night,
it looks like the software works fine in vista and the only thing
stopping it from working is vista is blocking the device drivers
from loading because they're not signed.
if there was a way to force the device driver to load instead
of the default ms generic hid one then the loadout manager
would detect the hardware and work.
