This little converter looks like an excellent version -- BUT note that 
it is only certified to work with Windows up through VISTA. The whole 
driver scene is somewhat different for WIN 7 (even though WIN 7 is often 
called a cleaned-up version of VISTA).

This is a point that should be investigated before investing $50...
