Microsoft and USB support for the Mac

A source that wishes to remain anonymous notes that the page for the Overdrive universal USB driver now states: "Sorry, OEM licenses and custom versions are no longer available." According to this source, this is because Microsoft has purchased these rights. He also points to the Macworld Expo Exhibitor's List, which has an item titled: "Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer." Apparently, this Windows-only product, announced last April, is coming to the Mac as a USB device.

Meanwhile, an article on the Insanely Great Mac site suggests that Microsoft may choose the Expo to release information about a Mac version of Microsoft Office 2000.
