Unfortunately no. I have a netbook with Windows 7, especially for GSAK (and my telescope). :wink:

You can run it via a virtual machine such as Parallels. but that requires the following:
a) Parallels (not free) (or VMWare (not free) ) or VirtualBox (free but only works on Intel based Macs))
b) A legitimate version of windows (not free)

If you've never set up virtual machines they can be a bit daunting at first.
Google is your friend.

Works fine under VMWare Fusion for me - in fact GSAK and a couple of Garmin apps are about the only Windows apps I run these days ;)
