This is correct.

Ditto.

If I used Vista myself I could probably make the USB adapter work with
relatively little effort. Either do the required hacks to libusb, or
make the driver use WinUSB instead of libusb. In case anyone else
wants to try, the source code for SDR-1000 hardware control (including
USB) has been available for quite a long time. There are some slightly
different versions in various places like:
    svn://206.216.146.154/svn/repos_sdr_linux/trunk/hardware/

The original (Windows) USB code is here:
