Title: Okay on a PC, worthless on a Mac
Review: Earlier I wrote a positive review for this product, but I am revising it.For basic use on a PC, I give the product 4 stars. The hardware is very nice, but the Protector Suite software is marginal. Also, they charge for even minor updates.For a Mac, I have to give 1 star. They say the reader works on a Mac, but it doesn't. It did, more or less, until OS X 10.6 was released. UPEK said they would release an updated version for that OS, but now (January 28, 2010, long after Snow Leopard's release) they still have only a beta that performs minimal functions. I also have used the reader in Windows XP running under Parallels. It works fine for a day or two, then stops recognizing anything except the Protector Suite software itself. Sometimes I can reinstall the software and the reader will work again for a couple of days.I am disappointed in this fingerprint reader.
Is the review positive or negative?
