    Blame Slickdeals for the mistake. :) I updated the original post to specify that it is only for Windows XP.

    Actually, it does work on Vista...I and a few others downloaded it on 5/29/09..no probs at all! ;)

    I think they want to get you to try pay for the *full copy* of it. :rolleyes:

    I have it on XP on my Netbook, and on Vista on my 1530! :D

    I haven't tried the software, so I am just listening based on comments and feedback from other users in regards to compatibility. :D

    For now, I removed the Windows compatibility information from the original post altogether. Makes it easier for me that way. ;)
