Title: Does not play nice with other software.
Product review: I realized soon after getting this otherwise great product that it disables Windows' ability to idle and enter sleep mode or activate the screensaver. This is a known issue according to Microsoft, and they claim they are working on it. The problem is that other services running, including PCMService which is a critical part of Dell Media Experience, conflict with MS's Intellipoint software. If you disable this (or a host of other possible culprits) using MSCONFIG, the problem will go away. Unfortunately, disabling one service to make another work is not a reasonable option for most users. This is just another problem that MS admits but is unwilling to come up with a solution. Sound familiar? I hate to give up the nice performance of this mouse, but it looks like I'm returning it for a Logitech... Time to sell MS stock again and buy some Logitech...
