He should not have to worry, especially not on a Mac.
I'm running my N12 both with a Mac and with a laptop (XP) with very good results.
The only problems I've had was related to finding a firewire PC Card interface for my PC with the correct chipset.
J've never had any problems with the Mac.

I think this reply from Geosync describes the situation pretty good:

3: trying to use Vista BEFORE we were ready..

take away those three things and there are VERY FEW problems.
