Does this work with Skype for Windows 7? I bought a Linksys, only to find out it doesn't work with anything higher than Vista. If not, what does?

Hey Tammy, it has worked on our Windows 7. But, if you have a smartphone, you can skype directly on your phone. Way easier and more convenient, plus you can do video, which you can't do with the dlink adapter. Hope this helps.

Worked great on XP. I had limited success with Windows 7. When I had one (about 2 years ago) there was a driver available for W7, you'd have to check if it's still available.

Hi, omelet. I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04. This headset works on Ubuntu just same great as on Windows.You even don't need to change any settings. Also i checked mic with Skype, works great. But if you have Ubuntu 10-13, you may need to fix mic (youtube / watch?v=tULmqpe5Yos)

I use a separate wireless phone just for skype. I found one at Walmart for $5.00. I plugged in to FreeTalk, then FreeTalk into my router and started making calls. Once Skype recognized FreeTalk, then my cheap phone, it works just like a regular land line. I haven't had any problems using FreeTalk with a separate cheap wireless phone. I never tried using FreeTalk with just 1 land line phone.

Ours uses our Wireless Linksys N router with no problems .. Came with an Abuntu Operating system which works fine as well even though item stated Windows 7. Windows 7 requires more ability in processor and memory than these come with 2 perform well. Yes to mouse and skype

For what it's worth I use this adapter with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and it works fine. Drivers built-in (generic Microsoft). It worked fine under Vista and XP too. I even use it with an older Apple bluetooth keyboard, which is a bit of a challenge to get configured with Windows 7.

My friend's works fine under Windows 8. As far as I'm aware, there have been no driver changes from Window Vista through to 8. However, the mic/inputs on this unit are very sensitive. I blew mine out. Great sounding unit though I've switched to Focusrite's Scarlett and Personus's Firestudio.

I don't know, but I never could get it to work with Windows 7. I did have it working on a Vista machine, though. I should mention I tried three different Windows 7 machines (HPs and Dells) with no luck. On Vista, it rocked.

Yes it does work with your windows Vista. I might add that if you upgrade to Windows 7, you'll be very happy. It's user friendly

I've owned this device for a number of years and it works fine, as long as you install the Broadcom bluetooth driver from their website. I've used a bluetooth headset with Skype clear on the other side of a 900 square foot house. I've used it with Jam Plus speaker and I couldn't find the end of the range, without going into a pond. If you find one on Amazon or eBay etc, I'd get it. It works fine in Windows 7, again with the Broadcom driver from their website.

Just plug it in and it installs itself. Skype works great with it. I use it on Windows also.

Hmm, well the product I got works with Vista and 7 I believe. It is only the older versions that don't work. I have a Windows 7 and it works perfectly. It should say on the box, "works with vista and 7" or something along those lines.

I tried it now on my win 8 laptop. Earphones were working great...I tried Skype test service and couldn't get the mike to work ...I did not find the TOOLS on Skype and no time to play with control panel sound on win 8. On desktop with win 7 ultimate it was very good. It did install easy

Hi, This adapter only has drivers for Windows 98, XP, CE, and Vista. For Mac it is available for OS 10.3 and OS 10.4. Thanks, Linksys Support http://support.linksys.com
