Just eye-candy for the Windows users...
Well, you can plug it and see it light up, so you know you've plugged
into a socket that's connected to something, but that's about all it's
good for.
Are you speaking from knowlege, or from supposition? If the software
does have control over the LED, then that would indeed be useful.
And I don't understand why you lump a whole bunch of people with
various degrees of expertise into a big glob. I know quite a few
very technical "Windows users".
