With any additional service on a computer, comes risk. If it can be controlled by a computer it can be controlled by software which is installed on the computer whether or not the user is aware that they installed it or not.
Only windows XP, vista and windows 7 are supported.

The best advice I can give you is to have a low powered computer dedicated to magic jack. You must leave your computer on at all times, no standby or hibernation. A standard home PC consumes more power then is required to digitize.
Services like Skype seem like a better alternative.

Clark Howard is willing to accept lower quality for a lower price, and he says if you can get a good high speed internet connection, Majic Jack is great. He repeatedly recommends it to callers, including those going overseas.
