This review is from : IOGear Bluetooth USB 2.1 Micro Adapter with Tri-language Package (Black)
works with one bluetooth device at a time (sort of) . i have 3 of these devices and it took me a lot of experimenting to arrive at my conclusions.

1. works with Vista (drivers come with Vista Home Basic)
2. works with Ubuntu Linux (drivers come with Ubuntu)
3. works with Windows 7 Starter (must install drivers that come with device)

Microsoft leaves things out of Windows 7 Starter and they hope you will get frustrated and buy an upgrade to Home Premium.

I have one device on my Lenovo S10-3 Netbook and use a bluetooth mouse but it will disconnect on it's own when not used for more than 5 minutes. This could be mouse powering down to save power. i bought the mini bluetooth mouse on amazon too. it has a bluetooth logo on it and after much use i am very happy with it. The combo work well together and the dongle has low profile which lets me leave it in all the time and which lets the S10-3's power cable to rotate around it without hitting it.

One device on Vista Home basic desktop. If I play music or video on my netbook
and want to pipe the stereo sound through my desktop which has a sounds sytem attaced to it, it works for an hour or so, then just stops working and i have to reboot the Desktop to get it working again.

I can't get stereo music and mouse working on one device at the same time.

Something about a stack. Not sure if this is a memory stack in the device or
in the bluetooth driver.

overall it's an excellent way to upgrade a pc to bluetooth inexpensively.
