The Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro (USB) has an adapter to plug
into either a game port or USB port.

Any idea if Microsoft are thinking about releasing the same thing for
us FF wheel owners?

Hello Ken,
As far as I know, the MS wheel is relegated to the game port for some
time.  The adapter that comes with the Precision Pro explicitly states
that it is to be used with only the Precision Pro.  It is not that
easy to just make a game port ot USB adapter.  The interface would
have to be changed.  
The ACT LABS wheel on the other hand, already has USB support.  :)
