My Mac and I missed that in the fine print. Yes, I just plugged it in and set it as the input and output device in Skype. I may had set something on the Mac sound preferences but I dont remember. Im currently in England, back in my office Wednesday. I can check settings then. But, yes, I have been using it with Skype on an iMac routinely for more than a year. I suppose they changed it since I bought it but I suspect they just mean that they dont have Mac software for it and dont provide support.

I Googled and found a lot of reviews for it on Amazon. It seems that it works with MacOS but the buttons on the device dont all work (you have to initiate calls from within Skype not from the device) and the echo cancelation and automatic gain control dont work.
