Default Opinions on the XBOX 360 controller (for Flight Simulator 2004)

I need a new controller for FS9 since my old one stopped working and I'm thinking of getting the Xbox 360 controller. I'll be using it in combination with my joystick sometimes and I want to know your opinions on the controller. I thinking of getting this one because the buttons are placed just right for FS (especially the rudder and elevator trim).

Here is the controller:

OK so maybe you can help me out a bit?

I'll be using it on Vista, on FS9, what is your OS?

Can you enable the vibration in FS9?

And is yours the wireless or wired?

And finally, did you need to install any drivers/programs to make it work or is it just "plug and play"?

thanks for the info
