Logitech's current position regarding pointing device support for OS/2, 
Windows NT and Unix:

When major Operating Systems are being developed, Logitech engineers work 
with other companies to make sure we have a product which is compatible.  
Therefore, when the System is released, it will usually support our mice.
For example, both OS/2 and NT will support our mice as 3-button mice in 
applications which call for all 3 buttons.

Extended drivers, cursor features, the ability to assign button functions -- 
what we call Mouse Utilities -- are added features which take considerably 
more programming time.  And this means spending company resources.

Logitech carefully tracks the number of calls and requests we receive in 
various areas and uses this information to allocate our resources into the 
areas of highest demand.  Currently, DOS and the Windows Operating Environment 
receive most of our resources because they represent an overwhelming 
majority of the users and potential users.

We understand that this impression may not seem quite as clear on our on-line
services.  A much higher percentage of "power users" who are interested in 
OS/2 and NT write to our on-line services than Logitech receives in calls, 
letters, or faxes.  On this BBS over the last few weeks, for example, OS/2 
support questions represent about 5% of the questions.  But when one examines 
all our support contacts, Enhanced OS/2 Support for our mice comprises less
than .5% of all our support contacts. 

The Conclusion:  With such a small number of user requests regarding other
Operating Systems, Logitech can most wisely invest its resources to best 
serve its customers by dedicating most of those resources into DOS and the 
Windows Operating Environment.

This is not to say we are doing nothing about these systems.  Logitech will 
continue to allocate whatever resources are possible into providing support 
solutions for other operating systems.  We were the only company to provide a 
scanner for the IBM Microchannel architecture machines.  We have produced a 
parallel-port scanner for use with laptops.  We have designed mice cordless, 
left-handed, portable, with cursor enhancements and button assignments, all 
in accordance with customer requests.  So please be assured that, in addition 
to providing free 7-day per week Technical Support, a Bulletin Board 
Service, and a Compuserve Forum, Logitech will continue to provide whatever 
improvements are possible.  We will continue to track the numbers of        
contacts regarding support for other operating systems.  If the demand
significantly increases, we will be allocating more resources into these
areas.
