Yeah, I think we can stop worrying about XP. Cool, I was just worried about
you running into the problem I ran into with some ancient buggy
stack/hardware. If it's relatively recent - say 5 years - then I think we're
probably fine. My mac is 11 years old. It's still powerpc.

Yeah. But like.. we're not even seeing issues at the zwave-hid level, it's
always at the USB level - packet loss. I don't understand why we only see it
on zwave-hid remotes.

It'd certainly be nice to fix it, but I'm willing to cut a release if you
can't find anything, and see if reports from users help us narrow down a
pattern... our Windows support is already 100 times better than last release.
