Sounds most likely. I think most of their recommendations are off-the-box.

The reason I said this is because all new MS Intellimouse (or
similar) products now on ht market are Mac compatible out-of-the-box.
They come with Intellipoint 3.2 or later on CD and this hgas drivers
for Windows and OS 8/9 (but not 10 *yet*). I know as I bought an
Optical Wheelmouse for my Mac and was pleasantly surprised to find
Mac drivers on the disk and the Mac logo on the box.

Given the above evidence I doubt this very much.
Anyhow - I guess I'll have to hold myself from trying that one....
