Artful WACOM has put that information at the most bottom of their FAQ page.
If you purchase your WACOM with Serial interface that means you may use it under almost any OS.
If you get your WACOM with USB interface you will be unable to use it on a PC under Windows NT. I found that problem because I had Windows NT at my desktop computer in the Office.
The problem is that Windows NT doesn't have any HID (Human Interface Device) drivers in it.
The solution for me was installing Windows 2000 - it took me almost three days.
Hope that is not a problem for MAC users.
But my vote is USB too  USB connection is much faster than Serial one.
