That would be a logical move. Logitech makes some great hardware, but awful software controlling it. M$ to the rescue!
(Actually, I think M$ mice were the best until I got a Logitech MX laser mouse. If M$ buys Logitech, I see PS3 users with M$ MOMO steering wheels! Irony?)
Especially on OS X... The control program for the Logitech MX Revolution was just CRAP that barely worked. It secretly used APE "enhancers" that caused a bunch of computers to get the BSoD on install...
They could sure use Microsoft's help there... but I have a strange feeling there would be less apple love if said takeover was true...
Why does everyone keep putting the dollar sign on MS's name when Apple is the one who charges $150 for their service pack uhhh I mean "Tiger" "Leopard" "Jaguar" "whatever cat updates". With MS you pay for an Operating system and you don't need to buy another one for easily 4 years and still can use all the latest stuff they have to offer. On OS 10.3 you can't even use a USB DVD burner without paying for an upgrade to 10.4. So stop with the M$ comments.

That is very true, BUT if you are to buy the ultimate version of Vista that would run you 399 if you want all the features and is only one ( i think) license, a new version of OS X comes out more freq. but costs 129 and has unlimited (not legally...but no way to stop it) licenses.
BUT then you could turn around and say that the upgrade version of Vista is cheaper, which is very true.
EVERY company is cheap... Apple can be very overpriced (original iPhone, most of their computers....) but so is the majority of the rest of the tech world...

Great logistical move, if it happens.
Maybe they'll help Logitech dig their useless software even deeper into your computer.

Whelp, I better start stocking up on G5s.
If MS comes into play they're going to ruin Logitech.
