Has anyone installed Vista Home Premium on their Mac? I've seen articles about Ultimate being installed on MacBook Pros but what about this verison?

It is my understand you can install this version on a mac with an intel chipset however, from what I understand you need to get an extra program to help with the install. Dont recall the name off hand

I think the "Dual Install" ability on Windows and Mac is a great feature. My first purch was the Photoshop Elements 2006, I have an HP Laptop and a MacBook Pro so I had to buy them separate and it gets costly to do this. So buying one with the installation available for both my machines is great. I never buy software from a "download" I buy actual hardware, I want physical material in hand to find if needed to reinstall or look up info.

I'll second the other 2 comments, IT'S AWESOME all around. The only complaint from me is the voice recognition was on by default and it took me awhile to find how to disable that, because this was the first MAC I've worked with.

Unfortunately, I can't answer this as I have no experience with Mac's. The instructions only discuss how to install with these versions of Windows: 98, ME, 2000 & XP. I happen to have Windows 7 as my OS, and it works just fine, however I don't know what OS Mac's use. If Windows, then you will probably be ok, if another, then I would not waste time or money, because returning the item does not look very easy. Wish I could help more!

Sorry , I'm not familiar with Mac &/or Mavericks. I'm into Windows Pro 8.1. Per Edimax tech support, supposedly there is a Realtek driver that should automatically install if the Edimax drivers are removed first. They await a beta driver from realtek.com.

Yes! I've used it with Windows Vista Home Premium on 2 laptops without problems or extra driver installs. Just plug it in and that's it!

I have a win vista home basic and mine install instantly without the installation cd. maybe ask an IT person? Maybe you have a bad one? I usually buy several at a time since we get them zapped by lighting storms. If one doesn't work or stops working, I just grab another.

I am a mac user. Can this be installed and work on Mac OSX? Also, is this meant to be for both outside and inside of house? Although I am more interested in installing it outside of my house.

Greetings: I installed on a Mac Pro (1,1) with Lion 10.7.5. It fried my computer. I would leave it alone, especially after I spoke with a Mac repair type in Oklahoma City. Sorry.

There is actually only one disk for all versions of Vista being shipped. You have the option to install the 32 or 64 bit version, other than that the version you can install, basic, premium, ultimate, is determined by your cd key.

Vista requires an upgrade license and DVD. "Anytime Upgrade" is for those who already have Windows 7 Home Premium. Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 Home Premium are not the same product.

Didn't run on Mavericks for me. I have a MacBook Pro with Retina running Mavericks 10.9.4 and the game would load, but none of the controls worked, including the trackpad or a mouse. The package said it only supported up to OS 10.6.x. Ended up having to repurchase on the Mac App Store, which ran perfectly on Mavericks (and said it supports Mavericks on the page).Seems to be hit-or-miss, with some people having no problems with the disc-based game and others (like me) not being able to get it to run properly. No patches exist that I've been able to find to update it, so you're stuck with this if you buy it here and it doesn't work. Refunds aren't allowed on open software.Good luck!

Mine, which I bought when I was using Windows, does not. As I recollect, from my research when I bought my Mac, they market a separate model for the Mac: it was signifcantly more expensive when I looked. I now run mine under VMWare on Windows on my Mac.

You can actually run Windows (any flavor) on the mac using VirtualBox. Once you have that in place you can run any Windows application in your mac

I just had someone call me for tech help stating the same exact thing. It would not install on Vista for her. I wonder if there's a firmware problem in the newer versions or something.

I purchased this from costco or sams about 10 months ago. I finally got around to opening up the package to install on our brand-new Vista Home Premium pc. The installer CD refused to install, because of "incompatible" operating system version. It was upfront about the incompatibility, not long and drawn out. So I went to Microsoft.com, downloaded, and ran the install from there; No problems, it works great so far.

This is the full version. I was installing it on a desktop PC that came with Vista but had earlier been upgraded to 7 with an upgrade copy. I had a frustrating time getting the full version to work and finally had an it friend at work install it. He was successful. Again, it is a full version.
