Useable on Windows 7 PC (NOT Bootcamp?) I was just curious if anybody here has the Apple running successfully on Windows 7, with gestures working (they may do something different on 7 as opposed to a Mac, but they still do something)?

Purchased it a few hours ago. Using it right now on my Win 7 laptop. Had to buy a Bluetooth dongle though. When first pairing and connecting, the experience was "meh.." however I downloaded the windows drivers and an application called "magic Trackpad Control Panel" and suddenly the Trackpad became a little monster. I'm loving the new experience so far (although it took me a while to understand how to drag windows/select text, etc -you double tap but leave your finger in contact with the trackpad on the second tap and then move it around) You can find more info regarding the drivers and app here: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/apple-magic-trackpad-control-panel-adds-trackpad-properties-in-windows-7/

It works on older MacBook Pros that have an ExpressCard slot. I don't know about Mavericks or Windows 7 with BootCamp, but I wouldn't expect the OS to cause a problem with ExpressCard functionality.

Only used on a pc, but have used on acer and Toshiba. I think you need some different software for apple.

I'm going to go the local Dell shop here in Nepal to test on a Mac (MBA 2013). It seems to me that if you are running either Parallels Desktop 9 or VMWare latest, in theory, it should work no? I would like to have a touch screen for my WIN 8.1 Pro images that I run on macs all the time (i.e. I always have that fullscreen on an external monitor anyway). Anyone else try this yet?

I bought the Mac version originally by mistake and my Windows computer was not able to recognize it properly. I returned it for the PC version and it worked perfectly the first time. I'm guessing the only difference is the driver support but either way you need the Mac version for Macs and the Windows version for Windows.

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 tried using it on Mac but sadly it didn't work. Fortunately, works on Windows 8. Hoped I help!

I use PPT for Mac quite often and there are only a couple of weaknesses versus the Windows version and none of them affect me since I don't use a lot of advanced animations or transitions. IMHO, unless you are a power user, you won't miss a beat switching to OSX. I use it for making training presentations and love it.

There is no native driver from Apple for Windows. But there are some third party driver, which may or may not work for you: http://www.trackpadmagic.com/magic-trackpad/help/driver-installation

It's not perceived as a touch device by windows (yep, no win 7 touch features) or Mac OS so you are limited to the wacom driver which acts as a interpreter for the gestures and then sends, not touch inputs but keystrokes that trigger the proper action in a given program yet you can't program your own gestures nor program what each gesture does so you are dependent on wacom to support the programs you need. And the MacBooks trackpad if I not mistaken detects up to 3 fingers gestures while the bamboo only 2.

Good questions. I'm running it on Windows 8 right now but I haven't tried it on my Mac yet. Have you tried Stanton's website?

None what so ever. You can format it to work for iOS or Windows. Many videos online that taught me to switch it to iOS compatability. I believe it came to me formatted for Windows. If not...an easy reformatting switch.

How did you get it to work under parallels? I have the same setup, macbook and parallels, but although the winows recognizes the olypmpus player, it will not recognize any of the wav files on it to download them.

Yes, it works with PC running Windows. It works better if you install apple trackpad driver on Windows. The driver is included in bootcamp.
