The product description is very misleading. This only runs on Mac OS X Classic, 8.6-9.2. The product itself might be great, but I wouldn't know, because I wasn't able to run it on my Mac OS X system. Very disappointing for my child and myself.

This product runs slow the music and words run about 20 seconds slower then the graphics. Also the amount of activies was just pathetic compared to other product I purchased. Liked reader rabbit about a million times better. Also like starfall.com better and ABC mouse(if you really wanted to put some money down for a good educational tool)

It's pretty good, but reader rabbit is better. I guess I expected a little more. It doesn't keep my child's attention nearly as long as reader rabbit does because of the way it's designed. Reader Rabbit is designed as an exploration/adventure type of game where you go exploring from screen to screen. Jumpstart preschool is a one room preschool and you click here and there.
