I have six on my current one as well, seven on my last one. Thing is, most of the buttons on there aren't really usable as mouse buttons -- for my old mouse they acted like a scroll wheel, on my current one it's a DPI adjustment.
The mouse is really too much of a context-sensitive input device to assign tons of actions to. Putting shortcuts to applications on a mouse, for instance, would prove to be a nuisance. They wouldn't be used all that much and they'd be too easy to accidentally hit. Copying and pasting -- another function that mouse manufacturers like to stuff in their drivers -- generally causes you to lose any benefit of easily accessible side buttons (i.e. back/forward functionality in basically everything, extra buttons in games, etc) for a feature that is best served on a keyboard. The two devices are best used to compliment each other, doing too much on one or the other is generally a bad idea.

One day, Kuroneko was milking a minature goat, when suddenly he experienced a slight "arousing" in his trousers. He looked over his shoulder, and much to his surprise a pack of mutant cantaloupes charged him at full speed. Grabbing his crotch and saying, "NOT THE JEWELS PLZ," the cantaloupes decided they would rather play a game of pocket pool, so they slid their cantaloupe-hands into his pants and pulled out the completely innocuous notebook within. By this point, Kuroneko had written inside the notebook about Don Lafontain's March 1995 edition of by passer weekly. This made his anus begin to release radio waves which made everyone's electronic equipment fuckin' explode!
Due to explosions, Zakamiro had to rope off his balls, and urinate all over upper middle class white people because they had the nerve to talk to him. He was absolutely amazing at flipping McDonald's burgers, and, like the French say, don't mess with texas. Accidentally dropping a burger patty, he screamed while taking a shit and it missed the toilet. Spectere FARFULGA'd up his one change to Vlad's upper torso. So he decided to change his lower jaw to resemble a monkey on acid and then drank a bottle of Robo. Damn that DXM acronym, always raping me hind parts. Rippin out sewer grates, Arch0wl emerged with season's greetings from the depths of satan's asshole. In which, Bobbias was singing "Crawling" while Spectere FUKKEN SAVED the first issue of US Weekly

That might not be supported in the kX project. I think the Audigy 4s were just coming out when the author of that vanished.

wget is freaking amazing.
I've also found some time ago that the GNU tools compliment cmd.exe quite nicely. I like being able to grep in Windows...it never gets old.

I haven't used it much myself but from what I've seen on my dad's computer it was pretty darn quick. 
And let's not forget: you can make web pages and check your eeeee-mails with SeaMonkey. Oh, the wonders of the nets!

Which sound card do you have? Audigy 2 line, I'm guessing?
The newest drivers that they have for the Live! are from 2003 because my card is outside its service life. I'm not too depressed over it, though, the kX drivers are, for the most part, better than the standard Live! drivers.

I beat Portal thrice (once normally, once with the developers' commentary, once quickly) and beat the six advanced missions. Portal may be short but regardless it's probably the best game I've played recently.

Oh...I think I know.
The kX drivers, by default, swap the front and rear outputs on the soundcard. As it turns out (and this is based in fact -- I've checked it on my system) the rear output is less noisy than the front. Either plug your front speakers into the rear jack or find the option for it in the horrible-looking mixer that's included.

SeaMonkey is essentially a resurrection of the old Mozilla application suite (though much much faster). It's a pretty decent product, really.

So it seems. Like I said, the most logical explanation is that Yoper screwed something up during installation. The fixmbr/fixboot utilities will restore the NT boot loader and allow you to boot back into Windows. After that you can reinstall GRUB.
Running fixboot alone will probably do the trick and not touch GRUB -- try that first.

If that's the case, odds are Yoper fucked up and installed GRUB to the wrong place.
Boot from your XP CD, go into the recovery console, and use the fixboot and fixmbr commands. Make sure you can get into Windows, then install GRUB manually as I outlined above. You're going to have to boot from a LiveCD (Gentoo's will work, as will Slax, DSL, et al) and chroot into your installation to do that. If you need directions, feel free to ask.
