Well, to my defense, I did say that the Headset doesn't actually require 
installing or has any disk for that matter. So no matter if there's a 
serial number or not, plug&play is what should be happening, not "plug 
in one slot and recognize it, plug it in the other and the system has no 
frickin clue what the USB device is".

If it would ask to reinstall some weird OS-given drivers that aren't 
installed with the basic OS, but are found on the OS' Install CD, I 
would have agreed, but since *nothing* is required when plugging it in, 
it DOES seem kinda strange that one USB recognizes the Headset and the 
other doesn't.

I've got the same headset. Plugging it into any of the 7 USB ports on my 
PC (Windows XP) or the two on my Mac (Leopard) doesn't make a 
difference, but it does on the two USB slots of my friend's laptop 
running Vista.

Regards,
Tim
