Interesting.

For 6 months, a while ago, I was working on virtual USB stuff for a
company. I did analyser traces of many devices including many MS
devices (mice, webcam, keyboard, joystick), and never found any device
from MS or anyone that supported that command. All devices that I saw
just replied (properly) with a STALL - and Winxp would just continue
on and handle the device.

When you say "older windowses", which one; the only earlier ones with
USB was 98 and descendants and somewhat 95.

Also have you found a device that actually responds to the "get
osdescriptor" request?
