I also recently took advantage of MC's "free shipping + discount" and
bought a genuine ICD2.  I too had difficulties getting the install to
work as per microchip's instructions; no matter what I did, it seemed
W2K always got to the USB "new device" before the microchip installer
detected it.  Eventually, I think I gave up and did a "windows style"
install - figured out where the microchip drivers were and pointed the
windows HW wizard there, which seems to have made things happy - the
laptop and MPIDE seem to talk ok to the ICD2 (what more could I ask
for) (although I haven't used it extensively yet.)

I'll be installing it "soon" on a WXP system, and I'll try to keep
track of what I need to do there (assuming I even get it to work...)
