Which version of the toshiba stack have you guys been working with?

Software stack doesn't matter, if your integrated device is CSR or ISSC based, then it will work.

I nearly bought a DBT-122, but I recognized that this uses the Broadcom stack again, not the recommended BlueSoleil stack.

I hope the purchase was worth it...

Doesn't matter, as long as the new DLink dongles is CSR or ISSC based, then it will work...

ESPECIALLY since the windows stack doesnt even support A2DP...

no, never said "the windows stack", we said "a windows stack", as in a "Win32" version of a bluetooth stack. Sorry for the confusion. Broadcomm based dongles are not supported by our 3rd party stack vendor (I dont't think, we are going to double check). Only CSR and ISSC based dongles, I think, are supported.

ALso, when I say "CSR based" or "ISSC based", that has nothing to do with the HCI Software stack (i.e. "the windows stack", or the broadcomm stack). It has to do with the bluetooth chipset inside of the dongle, i.e. CSR, or ISSC, or Broadcomm.

Scott, what's the quickest and easiest way to determine if a particular dongle is in fact CSR or ISSC-based? Is it clearly stated somewhere on the back of the packaging?

Can the dumber of us assume that you're going to provide a definitive list of adapters that do work?

A Bluetooth dongle running a Wincomm stack version 1.7 versus the hardware ISSC-based Bluetooth dongle-free adapter....huh?

Just tell me which one to buy. "Bob's Bluetooth dongle, Model 1A"...I'll get that one and be done with it!
