Yea. it's really, really easy.

Free if you already have all the stuff.
No soldering, just match color to color, twist, tape, and repeat. Then just tape the whole thing up when your done.

But overall, the 360 controller hasn't changed much from the original. Both are excellent IMO, and the 360 is a little better. Main difference is the black and white are now shoulder buttons above the triggers. Design is slightly changed and fits in my hands a little better than the S. I guess the 360 one will have better compatibility when Vista and Games for Windows have native support, but XBCD takes care of that for the original Xbox controller just fine.

One nice thing you'll most likely see is that games programmed for the XBOX 360 that end up on the PC (like R6V) will have support for the XBOX 360 controller programmed in. Although, oddly enough, Ubisoft didn't include 360 controller support in R6V until 1.01. But I think we'll all agree that R6V PC was waaaaaay too rushed :/.
