MS OS Only? Will this work with MS Vista/XP only or can it be used with a Mac OS as well?

Yeah it works on linux, all i had to do was plug the USB adapter in, turn on mouse and keyboard, and boom, 2 seconds later it all works. certain special buttons won't work, but all of the main keys work, i like it so far. i got my 7000 for free from live search club.

It does work on Mac OS X. Including the F-keys, Audio Volume, Page Up/Down, etc. Some of the obscure keys I've never tried. The keyboard's mouse navigation buttons work when you slide the little slide-switch to the left (and the regular standalone BT mouse continues to work simultaneously) By far the biggest difference from all other keyboards is location of the 'Apple' key in the center of the palmrest below the spacebar. Aside from training my hands to be clumsy on normal keyboards, I actually like this novel location. A friend and I have been using the Entertainment 7000 Set on our Macbook Pros for a few months. His is a 2 yr-old MBP, mine was new in Nov 2007. Both of us are pretty happy, and have upgraded to the 12/13/2007 release of the Microsoft Intellipoint 6.2.2 Drivers for OS X available from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/intellipointandintellitypepro.html However, all is not perfect. Sometimes the Keyboard and Mouse "lose connection" for a few seconds. The mouse pointer sometimes skips inexplicably. Since both of us are not big mouse users, we can get by. But I look forward to a driver update that reduces these problems... (but I'm not holding my breath) It may be that these problems could be reduced by using the included USB - Bluetooth transceiver key. But we continue to use the Bluetooth transceivers built into our Apple laptops just because it's convenient not to fool with a plug-in key.

I'm using mine with Vista so probably it will work with XP. There are no drivers to load so there will be no issues from that standpoint.

I use it Windows XP, with an inventory/sales program and also a library cataloging program. Plugs into the USB port, and you're good to go. We do not have any Macs at work, do not know compatibility.

I believe it is PC based only. It will work on Parallels on a MAC. I loaded it on a mac laptop that also had Parallels to run windows programs and this worked.

The box indicates that it will work on a "Macintosh OS X 10.4 - 10.6, G5 or intel processor, 867MHz or faster, 512 RAM, DVD-ROM drive, 32 MB VRAM".I use "Windows Vista" so I am not familiar with Mac OS. I hope this answers your question.

The instructions say it works with Mac OS X 10.5 or later. Iused Windows XP and 7. It worked fine for both.

I would like to know the answer to that question, too. I have Windows Vista. Can it be used with Vista?

As far as I know it will only work with Windows and Mac. Check the Manufacture, they may have additional soft wear available for your system, but I don't so.

It should work. I don't have Vista machine to test, but it worked fine with Linux, XP and Win7. This is just a switch followed by a standard USB hub, and it doesn't require any driver. The standard USB drivers included in the OSes just work.

Yes. I am using on XP. It is just a usb device and should work on all windows or mac os. As for the programs I can not comment one way or another. I did install some of the programs on XP. They worked, but I uninstalled them as I decided not to use them. I just use as a second hard drive and backup.

On their Website they specifically say Mac OS only. So it may work. They have another mouse that comes with a USB receiver that they say is Windows compatible.

No, from what I've heard it only works with XP. There are other usb connectors that will work with vista and 7 and macs, like the one from Planex.

According to the box it lists both mac and windows. I use it on windows system.

I use MS Win and I haven't had any compatibility problem. I don't know about Mac. Perhaps you may need to install the right software or change your accessibility options in your programs. Check with those using mac.

According to the manufacturers information enclosed, this product will work with both Windows and Mac OS's. So I think you should be fine. I am running XP which many folks don't use any longer and they work great.

Works on windows system. But haven't tried on a mac. Sorry... If it's not working id try to return it and get a refund. Maybe a faulty unit.
