Default SEST Mac compatible?

I can't seem to find anywhere if the Screamin eagle super tuner is compatible with the Mac os. I don't own a PC and am thinking of ordering the SEST along with slip ons and air intake.

Pretty sure the software will only run in the Windows OS.
You can run Parallels or VMware fusion that will allow you to run Windows on the Mac.

I don't have the SEST software, but I used Parallels on my Mac to load the tuning software for the SCT tuner on the Camaro.

Or partition your hard drive and run windows on one side.

I believe it's written for Windows only. If you have parallels on your mac and also run windows, you should be able to run it.

Either XP or Win7

I wouldn't run Vista, and with Win 8 being so new I wouldn't jump to that just yet for what you want to accomplish.

If you run Parrellels, it will mirror your old computer. It has a transfer program for it and works pretty well. A little slow but does the job for the few things I need windows for. No need to buy another copy of win with it, as it will look for a full version not an upgrade. Trust me I wasted a 100 on it and have a brand new unused Win sitting here.

Couple of ?'s on the power vision. Does it plug into the data port like the SEST? Also do I need to leave it attached to the bike like I have seen some on here do? I'm not really wanting to have something on the handlebars all the time. I like that no laptop is needed to run it but I don't see me needing to tune while out on the road.
