Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 Support

I got suckered into grabbing this cheap webcam and now that I am back in a 
non-windows environment I am wondering if there is any hope for drivers for a 
MS product? :p  Any advice on a webcam that wont give me too much grief and 
not cost too much either? Also I wanted to see on external usb dvd burners i 
saw a LG External USB DVD Writer and a HP External USB DVD Writer. What would 
you guys recommend for that?
