I thought I would check your conclusion

Reading the message threads in some discussion groups online after the demo, there appears to be some issues with this product and Windows systems. On a Mac, it all seemed to work ? go figure.

Since you have been known to blatantly lie about Windows in the past, I thought I would check your conclusion. 30 seconds later, I had all the proof I needed that you were once again lying and that on a Mac, things do not just work, go figure.

Some interesting quotes from the article and the comments:
The root of the problem is that when there is a failure, the software just says "error" without giving the user any feedback on what exactly was wrong.

Error? But I thought it just worked on a Mac? Macs don't need good error messages because errors never happen... or do they?

To summarize, the product was a complete failure for me on multiple machines and multiple printers and I cannot recommend it to anyone.

It failed on all his Macs.

The first comment was interesting because he had no problems with the software. Guess what OS he uses. One guess.
Using 1.02 software, the install went smoothly. Upon restart, my system (Vista Home Premium PC with dual core cpu, 4 gigs ram) was a little squirrelly. Apps took longer than usual to load, and I got a bit nervous. Things settled down after five minutes or so, and then I got to work profiling some old Epson Luster paper I've had lying around.

To cut to the chase, I am stunned by the quality of the final print. Its really great.

But you keep telling us that OS X just works and Vista never does!

I have had similar experiences with an 24' imac

Yet another failure on the Mac.

There is good news in the end. A representative from the distributor posted a comment and it turned out that the likely cause of the problem was a driver setting on... the Mac!

I am from DES the master distributor of the X-Rite products in Australia and i am amazed at the coments here as they are made by people who have not contacted us.
The comment left by Mark on the 1st of june is a classic as i went and saw him and fixed his issues as he had wrong driver settings in his mac and i have found that 99% of peoples issues with this product is the settings they use

Care to comment David on how Macs just work, even when they don't?
