My Microsoft Basic mouse is still working after 4 years though. I read up on the IE 3.0 and it seems that Microsoft released an updated version of it that isn't as good as the original.... What's up with Microsoft's naming system for their products anyway? The old and the new have the same name! So confusing

It's basically the same mouse, maybe only revision changes.

And a colour change

So far, the biggest confusion I found with Microsoft products is with their "Wireless Laser Desktop 6000":
Wireless Laser Desktop 6000

When you search on Google:
wireless desktop 6000 laser - Google Image Search

Problem is that there's like 2-3 of them under the same name (but look so different!) and each store carries different ones lol

Could some of them be "fake" MS products? I do know of a Microsoft mouse in the past that was fake.

Seriously? That would suck.

Always safer to buy from a known/good store I guess.

It looks exactly like a Microsoft mouse. I think it was probably manufactured at the same plant. But Microsoft claims it's a fake.

LOL!! If I remember correctly, they actually cloned the whole FACTORY!

Everyone in the factory actually thought they were working for NEC. Even the paperwork was NEC.
