I use a system where I use all popular OSs and I find the screen expand that I do not see the menu when I use chrome with this adapter but with HDMI no issue.

I've used this thing across 3 desktop builds now (running XP, 7, 8, and 8.1), as well as 2 XP laptops and a MacBook (not sure which version of OSX it was running, though, to be fair to the reviewer having issues with newer OSX drivers).  I've used all kinds of different firewire cards (both Texas Instruments and VIA chipsets and all kinds of manufacturers, including low-cost ones like Belkin and the like).  If there were OS or hardware compatibility issues:  I would have seen them by now.

I've used this unit countless times in the studio and in live recordings/settings (including using it for a few major label artists that you've probably heard of, no less).  The control surface always works.  The audio input and output always work without issue.  The MIDI input and output always work without issue.  Not ONCE have I had a "buggy driver" problem, or any other kind of problem that I didn't cause (and immediately fix) myself.

Install the drivers, use the device - it's fantastic.  I can't fathom how people mess that up.  You'll see the exact same complaints about every other audio interface, too - "buggy drivers, no support" etc etc.  You have to take those reviews with a HUGE grain of salt..."operator error" is more like it 99% of the time.

Totally satisfied with previous version. New operating system would not support my current version so I had to get this. This current edition is fine , will take me some time to get use to it.

I am a Red Hat Linux system administrator. I purchased this Ubuntu version of Linux to get a taste of another brand of Linux to compare.

This is the best Windows operating system I have so far, Windows 7 was good and 8.1 builds on that goodness with more responsive system. I personally like the Start Screen setup and it can be customized to make it seem as if your desktop background suddenly became filled with your Apps which is now the Windows term for programs, the usual Start button is back and Windows even improved 8.1 by adding the latest update which makes the user now able to shut down his/ her computer right from the Start Screen, the apps are wonderful on my personal perspective and I can play with them with ease, I admit though that there are still buts of information I need to know to get with OS mastered but again it just builds on the platform Windows 7 became known for. Compatibility wise I have no problems on it, I just needed to make sure the programs I install are the latest. IGNORE THE REVIEWS DUMB PEOPLE HERE HAVE POSTED AGAINST THIS PRODUCT, this is great, give it a try and you will love it.

I've installed this distro on 3 seperate computer and each one worked perfectly....including the internet access on all 3. Online update works perfectly, supported everything I had without even a hic up on any of the 3 computers I've installed on. I like the simplicity of YAST for stalling/removing/updating software and configuring the desk top was a snap on KDE which comes loaded along with GNOME. I don't have a bad thing to say about SUSE 8.2 but ALOT of good things. My friends are running it now too.

Over the years I have owned so many different hard drives and nas systems, and frankly speaking this beats every single one of them hands down. It is fast, easy to set up, online tutorial available on synology website, web interface of your entire system, and runs silently in the background. I mean what else can you ask for?!? Trust me when I tell you this is a great system and I'll be more than happy to answer any questions that would convince you to buy one.

My first computers were the TRS-80, Apple I, and the Commodore Pet.  The need to be multi-platform/os has been part of my career.  I played with, managed, supported, and taught every computer for over 35 years.  Parallels is one of those rare gems in the software world that really allows the end user to get more out of a single platform.

Originally I purchased parallels 3.o to manage multiple desktops (XP and 7 and Mac).  I could use one computer that rarely failed, my Mac, and connect to computers that frequently exhibited problems.  I could safely test the software my users needed in a safe environment. If something went wrong, I could dump the virtual machine and create another clean copy.

Even after moving on from my last company, I still use Parallels to remote connect to my home computer/server. I also run certain programs (embroidery software) that I need to complete sewing projects, that are only available (economically) for windows. The Mac Book Air is portable, powerful, and with Parallels fully capable of doing everything I need to do.

If you need to be multiplatform or just want to remove the barrier to software not available for your Mac, then you MUST get Parallels.

I love the NAS itself much more than I like QTS. To a power user it's a bit too restrictive and is buggy/cheapy. Dual OS is great though. Definitely far ahead from its competition (synology etc) and very solid hardware.

The Best OS ever! Doesn't crash like Windows, stays stable through updates and works like a dream.  Very simple to use and very elegant.

It was my fault that I purchased the wrong thing. I wanted the complete operating system to replace my XP professional. I'll try another one if you have it in stock.

I love that it supports various Windows operating systems.  It works fine with HP DL and ML series servers.  I highly recommend this card.

Windows 7 Professional is the most stable and efficient Operating System that I have ever used. I built this computer more than a decade now and it works like a brand new. I have two IDE hard drives with Windows 7 on one and Windows XP installed the other. The package arrived on time and it has rejuvenated the life of my aged machine. Eh hem, and purchasing this during a sale helped me save a few $$.

I've used lots of different products over the years for virtualizing Windows on a Macintosh.  Parallels gives the best running, best user experience of any.  Competitively priced upgrades keep me in the game.  Great value and great performance

I love OS X, every version, except Mavericks.

Which is also a terrible name for an OS.

I'm a programmer. (Sooo...why did you of all people buy a Chromebook?) Listen, it's a great platform. It's zippy for what it does and it allows you to experiment and try new things. For one thing, it runs on top of a Linux distribution and functions just like a really, really simple OS. However, I of course, added the chroot scripts (Crouton--look it up) and installed Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop interface. It runs very fast and extremely well.

I mainly use it to write in Perl. Of course, I can't be using the system's built-in eMMc storage (which is soldered in, by the way). So I purchased a 64 GB, low-profile USB 3.0 flash drive, which I keep parked in the system's USB 3.0 port. I write in Vim, which means I didn't have to install a thing.

The keyboard is as speedy as it gets. You don't have the programmability of the 'f' keys but you do have a good range of pre-configured function keys at the top. Gone is the caps lock, but that's also no problem.

Another great thing is the ability to switch from Ubuntu to ChromeOS and vice-versa with just a keystroke. That's a really nice thing since I like to try running my programs in both environments just to see if they'll work in both.

Guys, this is a nice little system. It's not going to replace a larger, more powerful system you have. But I'll tell you, for a lot of what I do it comes pretty darn close. Yes, I'm relying on Google Drive services when I'm in ChromeOS. Big deal. I'm not storing any secret plans to destroy Superman. I'm working. Getting to Ubuntu under the Crouton scripts is a snap. Just ctrl+alt+delete and up comes your terminal in ChromeOS. If you have developer mode enabled, I type "sudo startgnome" and it launches in a split second. The system itself powers up in about 8 seconds.

When you don't have all the time in the world to be waiting for a larger, more powerful system to boot up, this thing is a dream. No cooling fan (and no need for one) means it runs silently and you won't break a sweat working with it. No moving parts also means more reliability.

The processor could be faster, but again, for what I'm writing it doesn't require a whole lot of power. When I want to play Diablo 3 I run it on one of my other systems.

I'm exceedingly happy with the Acer C300 Chromebook laptop. In fact, I love my Chromebook so much that I'm going to buy another one and I'm considering buying a few and giving them as gifts to some of my loved ones this Christmas.

I would also get the version with the 4GB RAM, since it'll be a little faster and if you plan on running Linux on a chroot instance. (Ubuntu actually loads into the RAM, which is one of the reasons why it's so fast and also one of the reasons you'll need 4GB).

Again, this is coming from a programmer who owns 8 other systems. It's unbelievable but this little Chromebook has been my constant companion since the holidays. $270 isn't going to kill you to try it. See for yourself.

With the expiration of Win XP, I needed an upgrade for my old HP, despite it being a dual core system. The program loaded fine, and has performed without issues for the past month. I know it is tough paying for a system upgrade, but at least Win7 was still available, and I didn't have to invest in a new machine.
