There's a couple of worthwhile comments at http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/belkin-easy-transfer-cable-helps-you-share-between-xp-vista-mac/ on this thing.
Most importantly - it's not any form of standard USB cable (well, bridged, yes) but (according to the comments) specially licensed by MS to work with their software. Which means no generic (e.g. unapproved) cable will work, which sounds a little like DRM, doesn't it?
Anyhoo, I'd suggest that anyone looking to buy one wait a month or two when they start hitting ebay etc. in large numbers after they've fulfilled their (one-time) purpose.
