Tuxera NTFS for Mac fully supports Mountain Lion
We have been excited to see a huge peak in Tuxera NTFS for Mac downloads after Apple released Mountain Lion earlier in the week. If you haven't updated your copy for a while now it's the right time. You can download the latest Tuxera NTFS for Mac 2012 right here. Tuxera NTFS for Mac 2012 adds several new features and the latest installation package we released right after Mountain Lion has been signed with Gatekeeper, which makes sure you have the right, untampered software from Tuxera. As always, we are eager to hear your feedback and suggestions for new features and other improvements!
Lion is here!
Apple's awaited OS X Lion has been finally released. The delivery is what you can expect from Apple: tons of new features, both for improved user experience and under the hood performance. This is the first time you can upgrade your Mac directly through Mac App Store. According to the numbers:
Apple® today announced that in just one day, over one million users bought and downloaded Mac OS® X Lion, the eighth major release of the world’s most advanced operating system... users are buying Lion faster than any other OS release in Apple’s history.
Now that's just huge!
While the popularity of Mac is skyrocketing to new records, we're also seeing more and more people using multiple operating systems and not just one. Windows is not disappearing any time soon and remains the number one choice in many homes and workplaces alike. This means that Macs also need full, rock solid Windows interoperability. Many of those new to Mac bring with them Microsoft Windows formatted hard drives and may continue to use Windows still on the side. And the chances are high that as a Mac user you will need to exchange large amounts of data with friends and colleagues who stay on Windows.
This is where Tuxera NTFS for Mac comes to help. With complete support to OS X Lion, Tuxera NTFS for Mac adds full read and write compatibility with all Windows-formatted drives.
We are very proud to have been flooded by positive feedback on how Tuxera NTFS for Mac is working now smoothly on Mac OS X Lion. Thank you to every one of you!
For those of you who haven’t yet upgraded your system, we urge you to download and install the latest stable version 2011.4.1 which was released already on June 20th.
Last but not least I'd like to remind that once you buy a Tuxera NTFS for Mac license you will get future releases free of charge.

Tuxera Celebrates Over 1 Million NTFS for Mac Downloads
The World's First and Fastest NTFS for Mac Solution Defines the Standard
HELSINKI, FINLAND. Tuxera Ltd, the creator of the leading NTFS end exFAT file system drivers, celebrates the fact that its NTFS for Mac technology has exceeded 1 million downloads. Tuxera NTFS for Mac continues to define the gold standard for file system interoperability between Mac and Windows computers. The product has won awards for its extreme performance and flawless operation.
Tuxera leads the NTFS-3G open source project, which made a breakthrough in January 2007 being the first in the world to release NTFS read/write support on Mac OS X. Since then Tuxera has continued to innovate its market-leading technology. The high-performance Tuxera NTFS for Mac remains today as the world's fastest NTFS for Mac solution. Read and write speeds have reached 100MB/s, and in practice the speed is usually limited only by the hardware.
"Make no mistake: we were the first on Mac, and remain the first both in stability and performance. We also do not charge for any performance and feature updates, which we frequently publish during the year. Our license is forever." noted Mikko Välimäki, Tuxera CEO.
Tuxera NTFS for Mac is quickly becoming a must-have for consumers who migrate from Windows to Mac, and wish to fully use their Windows-formatted hard drives and memory sticks from the new system. Tuxera has also sold volume licenses to universities and media production companies, which have mixed Windows and Mac environments with tens or hundreds of computers.

Tuxera NTFS for Mac gets more reviews
Following the latest release, Tuxera NTFS for Mac is receiving positive reviews all over the net. For example movie and television industry veteran David Roth Weiss has in mind a use case where large movie files are post-produced on a Mac and then submitted to clients who have PCs:
Until Tuxera, the 4Gb file size limitation made it impossible to copy files over 4Gb to a FAT32 formatted drive, and NTFS formatted drives could only be read on Macs, writing to them was not possible. ... that could be a real deal breaker for many editors on Macs. Tuxera changes all that, and creates a seamless method for delivering files on hard drives to your PC-based clients.
Earlier also MacObserver picked Tuxera as the NTFS solution for Mac.
As a final note, Softpedia gave us "100% CLEAN" award :)

The product was thanked for its unbeatable performance and flawless operation compared to competition. Tuxera NTFS for Mac was recommended with a Silber-Award ("Silver Award"), something we are very proud of!
