Description states this dev interfaces to XP OS, which is no longer a supported OS. Does this device interface properly to MS tablets running Win8.1?

I would think so as my PC is Win 7. To make absolutely certaIn, I'd contact Underwateraudio in Corvales, OR

Good question and I don't think I can answer it but can tell you my experience. I haven't been able to figure out how to use my Surface 2 to download books from audible.com AND upload those audiobooks to my underwater audio iPod. I have resorted to using my several years old Dell laptop just for this purpose but it's not going to last much longer and I need to try to figure out how to use my surface 2 to do this task. I don't use my iTunes account for any other purpose. But your question makes me wonder if perhaps it's not just me.

I installed the Developer Preview of Windows 8 (32 bit). All of the Acer drivers seem to be compatible. It took a while to download all of them from the support website and install them, but after doing so and installing the required applications, it runs really smooth and has a very "touch friendly" interface. One thing I dislike is that my folio cover prevents some of the swipe gestures necessary for Win8. I've had a couple of random shut downs and a few program crashes (i.e. Mobipocket Reader gives me some problems [also you can't easily exit full screen mode without the keyboard dock]). The onscreen keyboard is substantially better in Win8. Some of the metro apps are either buggy or just incompatible. There is a game called Labyrinth that doesn't seem to do anything at all. The "Socializer" gets stuck in Facebook login mode forever. All that said, I will be purchasing Windows 8 as soon as it comes out for my Acer W500. It is so much easier to use than Win 7 with the touch and boots in 8 - 13 seconds.

B. James - good question, maybe we can find the answer together: rfomeara@me.com. I am about to test the MS XP driver, if you send me an e-mail I will let you know the results.

I have Windows 8.1, and it works properly (I don't have the touch screen, though, so I'm not sure how that would respond).

Mine is USB, I could not find any XP drivers to get it to work have not tried it with WIN 7.

It worked with my 8.1 installation on a Surface Pro, however, there were a couple of ports on the device that were dead. I think it was a defective device vs it not being compatible with 8.1. Just make sure you have USB3 ports on your PC to get the full benefit of this device.

I only have XP but as I interpret their specs, XP is mentioned only as a minimum requirement and to assure people with old systems like mine that it will still work. Surely it will work with the newer ones.

I used it on an XP SP3 upgraded to 8/8.1 without a problem. I don't believe it carried over the driver from XP in the upgrade. If it did, however, using Win 7 drivers and compatibility mode should work.

Drivers would not work on my 8.1 tablet, but would on my Win8 desktop. I don't know if it's the operating system or the tablet, but according to the error message it's the system.

I have Windows XP, and it works fine. The packaging doesn't specify the operating systems with which it is compatible. I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful.

I do not have a tablet with USB ports to try it on, so I am not sure if it would work on that device. I tried to use this on Win 7 (64bit), Win 7 (32bit), and Win XP (32 bit) machines. I also passed through the driver to a Linux VM (BT5r3), and was unable to force the OS to recognize the chipset.

I do not know. I bought this because I wanted the Android OS. I have no interest in a Windows installation so I haven't researched it. It has been my experience with other tablets that trying to install a different OS on them is typically not cost effective or time effective.

hi. honestly, i'm not sure. i haven't used it in a long time - since i was on xp which was 32bit. i'm running win8 64 now but i've never installed the drivers. it's kinda too cumbersome to be of good use as a note taking device for me. but usually, 32bit drivers work fine for 64bit with stuff like this (that's not graphics or resource intensive).

i have it on my XP and it works fine. Can't help you except for this. Sorry.

I haven't hooked this up to my XP but I have confidence that I won't find any problem - since this operates basically in a DOS mode which is the framework for all Windows Platforms. I think the intel chip sets are built to this support level so I would be willing to try this. As I first reported I had no problems using this device on a WIN 8 laptop - it worked great to download my old DOS platform programs.

I use it on my Asus Win 8 tablet via Bluetooth. I assume it will as many android perps say it works. But I can also see Google blocking Microsoft products too. It is returnable too.

Does NOT work with Vista or XP...This touchpad is GREAT for 8.1 and happens to work with 7 as well.
