Or did I get this wrong, too? :-) AFAIK, the problem was, that they didn't get the third mouse button to work for XP emulation in Home Premium because of the missing Active Directory synchronization boost. We are lucky, they decided to force the user needing the XP compatibility layer to upgrade to Professional instead of downgrading to a one button APPLE mouse. hasta la vista hombres a.l.e
