Can this simultaneously support windows 7/8 and OS X?

yes it can - this is a network device so you can install the client software of just access it via the network

If you mean if that can be accessed by multiple computers running different software I believe the answer is yes. I have accessed the Synology from my work computer running windows 7 and from my mac.

Yes it does. The GUI is via web and from Windows or Mac you can map the NAS to access the content. No complaints with mine. Very good product.

Shirlene, I have Windows 7 and X6 works great. I don't know about Windows 8.

Simply put Yes. To avoid confusion, I am running W7 Ultimate 64bit. I cannot speak for any other OS but I would assume the answer would be yes as well.

I've tested it with XP and MacBook. It worked well for both. But I can not make any comment on Windows8. You should look fast track web page for this question man.

It is not compatible. I checked the back of the box and it specifies Windows, and says nothing about Mac.

Yes with Windows 7 or higher, unknown for other operating systems but hardware does allow it.

I havevno experience with OS X, but with Windows 8 should work fine, just remember to plug the usb to the monitor

I think the answer is yes. I'm running vista without any problems. Ofice should also work. you might want to [post your question in the mac support forums: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa or the parallels forums: http://forum.parallels.com/ where you will get a more expert answer

The unfortunate answer is 'it depends on a few things' so the ultimate answer is 'no, not reliably and readily compatible with Windows 8'.

Ten years ago Macs and the Mac OS were pretty bad compared to Windows and Intel machines. But Mac OS X now that it's settled down is really nice. Disks are so big now, maybe you can afford a corner for a Mac OS playground. :-)Check this 3/29/2007 article on BootCamp 1.2's support for Vista including Aero Glass, and Parallels and VMWare's software for running MacOS and Windows at the same time (VMWare with DirectX with XP):http://weblog.infoworld.com/techwatch/archives/011018.html

If you mean OS X Mavericks, I doubt it very much. It hardly worked with Windows XP but hey, give it a shot and then let everyone else know.

It works on Windows 7 and Mac OSX without any problems. It should work on Windows 8 just fine.

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.
