    Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP are supported. Vista is not mentioned.

    Re: Air Mouse Compatibility

    If it doesn't say that it supports Vista then you have to proceed on the
    assumption that it does not. How else can you do it? The manufacturer
    would say so if it did because that would be a selling point. Anyway, it
    was released on June 1, 2005, 18 months before Vista came out. If the
    manufacturer did not write a new driver since then, it will not work.

    Cnet reviewed it on 7/13/05:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/gyratio...-31428447.html
    The supported operating systems are listed at the end of the specs:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/gyratio...7.html?tag=sub

    The manufacturer's support page does not list any downloads so there must
    not be any driver updates.
    http://www.gyration.com/t-DownLoads.aspx

    The Windows Vista Hardware Compatibility List (filtered on Gyration input
    devices) is here:
    http://winqual.microsoft.com/HCL/Pro...&cid=400&f=86p

    There is simply no indication that the device will work with Vista. Other
    than that you can try it but I wouldn't buy one just to find out.
