Corey Gouker's Machine Inside the Mind

Jon ordered a new Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 from Amazon (using some major credit) which arrived today. There's little information about this headset, I didn't even really know it existed till he brought it up. So yeah, no real information about the base unit but we figured it was free credit so might as well try. Opened it up and sure enough the base unit reads Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows. Plug it in, Vista sees it, it doesn't find drivers, Jon downloads the drivers from Microsoft Hardware. Install takes a good 5 minutes for the 3MB setup, totally lame, especially on Vista. The headset worked perfectly, pressed the button and up came WLM8.1, we then tried pairing the Xbox 360 Wireless controller, it paired just fine as well. Then did a short Skype call after setting the input and output to echo123 and that also worked perfectly. So awesome, a good solution to kill two birds with one stone. Only caveat that I can see is that after testing with the Xbox 360 itself I can't find a way to pair the headset with the 360. Regardless considering the receiver is $20 normally getting a nice headset and a good way to do wireless calls with Skype is worth the $30.
