Nothing too exciting - it's a FM radio receiver, powered and controlled 
through USB, and outputs through a lineout jack. It can only pick up one 
station at a time, but it can be controlled through code.

It's a Windows thing, not a Windows Server thing. Here's the feature list:

I've not used it (yet, but I've played with Cygwin in the past), but I'm 
only interested from the workstation side - if I want unix on the 
server, I'll run unix on the server. :)
