Force Feedback on Xbox 360 Racing Wheel using Wireless Gaming Reciever in Windows 7

I am trying to use my Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel in Windows 7 using the Wireless Gaming Receiver to connect it to my PC.

It connects fine and I can use the wheel in games, but I'm not getting any force feedback and I don't see it mentioned in the device configuration in the control panel.

This page: http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/hardware/x/xbox360wirelessgamingreceiver/ specifies that the wheel should have drivers available for Windows Vista in the future (I am guessing this page is well out of date) with force feedback but I can't find mention of these drivers anywhere.

Technically, this is a Windows 7 Driver Support question on when then Wireless Gaming Receiver drivers will be updated to provide force feedback support as was promised in the URL the previous poster provided.

I to would be interested in if this work is progressing.  If it has been cancelled you may wish to notify marketing and get them to update the page in question.

Cheers.

    Oh, wait, no, it still says it here:

    http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-US/Hardware/Controllers/Pages/XboxWirelessGamingReceiverforWindows.aspx/

    Future drivers available for Windows Vista™ and Force Feedback for the Wireless Racing Wheel.

    Well, that original page has disappeared now.  

    http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/hardware/x/xbox360wirelessgamingreceiver/ 

    Guess this means there's no force feedback drivers coming :(

    Why state that a driver is in the pipeline if there is no one developing one? Give us an official yes or no Microsoft! I bought the wireless receiver for just this purpose, if there is to be no force feedback supporting driver to be released in the future then I put to you that your marketing information is false advertising.
