Cyberphone K Skype

I purchased my cyberphone K back when they first came out, I have easily had it over 5 years now and am still using it because it's simply fantastic. The cyberphone K has 1 overwhelming limitation and that is its advanced features do not work in windows vista or 7 (so if you put the phone down it does not hang up and the buttons don't work).
