"It works, as far as I know. Windows Update upgrades it automatically to a Microsoft Compatibility-signed version, the latest one available: 7.4.2.105. That one version was released on April of 2008, and it should be available here. In short, I didn't get to use it very long 'cos of that update. Other than that, it works."
