Title: wont work with xp, microsoft discontinued support
Review: I really have to wonder about some of the recent reviews on this sidewinder. I wonder if they are written by people selling this unit (no authorized dealers sell the sidewinder for a year, it is only third party sellers).Microsoft discontinued this a year ago along with ALL support. It will not work with with XP. just google sidewinder, usb and joystick and you will see many many people who are having problems. I am not talking about n00bs, but experts on various gaming and flight sim boards.It will work one day and not the next, you need to do some pretty serius registry hacks once a week.and as I said microsoft will tell you they have nto supported this joystick for a year, and have removed all their supporet pages. If you mention this joystick and xp, they will say, sorry, can not help you at all.
Is the review positive or negative?
