I boot under Linux and plug in the mouse…no problems… I’m not a real big fan of touch pads, I prefer a mouse.
The question is what am I getting for my money? Let me give you an example: Different operating systems serve different purposes. I’m not necessarily a linux fanboy, nor am I a redneck who’ll get in fist fight over Ford vs Chevy. I have no problem with Microsoft making money. Posted in Misc Hacks Tagged cdc, drivers, phillip torrone, usb Post navigation We often get spoiled using a Linux box and don’t realize the hassles sometimes found on other systems. Think about that for a while and then ask yourself which decade Windows 8 is being developed in. post specifics about how the former two operating systems handle these communications, and how Windows 8 could be tweaked to fall in line with them. The way communications are handled by OSX and Linux makes this a snap, but not with Windows 7. Specifically the Communications Device Class, which is a protocol used by most hobby projects (and boards like the Arduino) that take advantage of the Universal Serial Bus. This is of course not strictly a hobby electronics feature request, but deals with how a lot of USB devices are treated by the upcoming operating system. We think his editorial is well-aimed appealing for better support for hobby electronics in Windows 8. Is climbing up on his soapbox again to make an appeal to Microsoft.
