Does NOT work with current Windows version 7 and when I purchased, was not stated on the website. Item is useless and can not be used at all, it is only compatable with older computers.

Dont buy unless you are NEVER going to buy another new computer again in your life. Item is useless junk without older version of Windows.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute and fun, but noisy and not as talkative or clear as I'd like, December 23, 2009

This is a cute and fun desktop toy, but the noise the electronics make when the dog talks can make it a little hard to understand what it's saying sometimes. The speaker could definitely be better. And sometimes it will repeat the same thing, or it will go for a long time without saying anything.

Right now it just said something cute: "I hate testing on animals. I always get nervous and forget the answers." Very cute. Some of the other things it says are just plain odd. Here's another one: "You drink light beer; I drink out of the toilet. To each their own." Okay... Oh, here's another good one: "If one of those websites puts a cookie on your computer, how about sharing it with me?" And... it just repeated it. Wish it knew what it had just said, so it wouldn't repeat itself five minutes later.

All in all, I'm glad I bought it. It's worth the [...] I paid for it here on Amazon. It was easy to set up. It does require a battery, which is a shame. (It's already connected to your computer via USB, so it could charge that way.) And it does take up a USB port. It doesn't seem to take up a lot of memory, which is good. I like it. I just don't love it as much as I would have liked, and that's why it gets four stars from me.

I just finished installing the application on a Windows 7 32-bit system with great success. The reports that the ChatterBot application does not work on Windows 7 applies to the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Setup a dual boot with 32-bit Windows 7 on one partition and 64-bit on a second partition and use the 32-bit version when you want to be amused by your ChatterBot
