Since this is a Microsoft product the drivers are built into Windows 7 and have worked fine for TrackMania United

TM2 crashes whenever I have my microsoft sidewinder joystick plugged in. Although I was able to play a race or two with it and prefer it, using the keyboard is much more stable. Will there be better joystick support in the future?

How does the activation system work? I have a desktop and a laptop can I install it on both of those without any problems?
