Chris Bailey offers this comment regarding the Microsoft IntelliType Pro X  -  3.0.0 keyboard drivers: "It's been worth the wait! They've added functions into the driver that allow you to use the play/pause, forward track and reverse track buttons with iTunes instead of the CD-ROM drive! This is great for me, as I've ripped most of my CD library into iTunes... now if I decide I don't want to listen to a particular song, I don't have to maximize iTunes, click the next track button and then minimize it again... just one click on my keyboard and it goes to the next track. Great!"
