Have no idea what was designer thinking creating it. Maybe you can help?

Another question I am asking myself is there a connection between this and their low rating at ResellerRatings.com.

It is a regular mouse with no additional buttons or features.

When I saw system requirements printed in fine print on the back of the package, my eyes popped out – 100 MB of free space on hard drive! It is totally unthinkable considering the fact that there is a great chance that Microsoft XP/Vista will support it without any drivers. Where did those days go when developers cared about optimization?
