Pros: Works fine on old XP machine (which is why it gets 2 eggs)
Cons: So I know there are several reviewers saying this works fine on Win7 x64 however I had problems with it and Vista. Using the workaround someone provided (and the general consensus on the web) I downloaded the Ralink RT256x/RT266x drivers to convince it to work. While this allows the card to work I would get random freezes right and left on both OSes. Turns out many others have this same problem with this chipset so I am staying clear from now on.
Ended up throwing it in an old XP box for a friend and it works without a hitch.
Other Thoughts: System: Asus M3N78 Pro AMD Phenom 9500 Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Pros: not too expensive
Cons: had a lot of trouble getting this to work with Vista64. avoided the install disk and let windows update install the RALINK drivers as recommended by other users but still couldn't get stable performance when playing wow or downloading large files or updates. had to hard reset out of wow and ie7 several times and at one point it caused my graphics card to fail on reboot (got the steady beep on reboot). the linksys site was not much help either.
Other Thoughts: guess i'm going to have to RMA

Good card, initial installation a little sketchy

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I love Linksys and it was a no brainer picking up this card for my new wireless setup. It works like a charm (no complaints)
Cons: I dropped 1 egg due to the installation. It took about 3-4 tries to install it on Windows 7 (Having to uninstall it, and reset the computer over and over again). Rather then having the drivers on the disc and being able to install the utility later, they have an "installation program" which doesn't like Windows 7. It requests that you run the program, it shuts down the computer (then you're supposed to install the card) and then when you reboot the computer it continues installation.
Because of this the computer would restart, and then Windows would block the installation program so you'd get an incomplete installation :(
