I’ve heard that Microsoft Windows 7 supports touch. Do I need a Windows 7 machine to be able to use ActivInspire 1.6?

No. ActivInspire 1.6 supports multi-touch capability specifically when used with the ActivBoard 500 Pro from Promethean. If any of the operating systems supported by ActivInspire 1.6, such as Windows 7, are touch-enabled, you can take advantage of ActivInspire’s multi-touch capability when connected to the ActivBoard 500 Pro.

I don’t have a touch-enabled board. Can I still use ActivInspire 1.6 with my regular ActivBoard?

Yes. The multi-touch capability of ActivInspire only works if you have a touch-enabled ActivBoard 500 Pro connected.
