Microsoft fingerprint reader X64 drivers

I have been reading many threads with reguards to the Microsoft Fingerprint
reader that is marketed by Microsoft. The drivers are not currently available
for x64. If the drivers are not going to be made for this product then
Microsoft needs to make a statement that they are not going to support the
product any further. There are lots of people that have contacted you about
the product and have gotten the run around about wether or not you will
support this product under the 64 bit environment. If you are going to create
a product like Vista and Windows XP with 64 bit options then you should
support your products like the fingerprint reader under these environments. I
know that the answers that others have recieved from Microsoft have varied in
the responses, I.E. yes there is work being done on the developement of the
drivers and some that say no work is being done to support the device under
the 64 bit environment. My question is simply this. Is there any posibility
of a 64 bit driver for the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader?

Re: Microsoft fingerprint reader X64 drivers

If you are addressing this to Microsoft be aware that this is only a
user-to-user self help newsgroup and is not monitored by Microsoft. It is
doubtful that they will see this message. Address your concern directly to
Microsoft at one of the many Contact Us links on microsoft.com.
