FWIW, I've been using this for months, on a box that I've rolled from 5, to 6 (when I started using it), and now 7 (although outdated now). It's been running perfectly, and until now I forgot I was using it. I'm using it so my machine has a ps/2 keyboard on boot for BIOS and loader screens, but then has my usb keyboard normally. I just leave the ps/2 kb on top of the system, since it doesn't reboot much. Maksim, thanks for the hard work on it so far!
