Reprint from Sage Software’s announcement on Windows VISTA compatibility:

The Sage MAS Product Team is currently evaluating our third party products and complementary Sage Software Solutions for a definitive timeline on full compatibility and certification on the Vista operating system. We will be posting a Vista Compatibility update on March 1, 2007 on http://www.sagesoftwareonline.com.

Sage Software has announced that their Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 products will be certified for Microsoft Windows VISTA Business Edition only, so if you are thinking of buying a new computer with the new Microsoft VISTA operating system, please take that into account. That does not mean existing or older versions of MAS 90 and MAS 200 will run on VISTA. An announcement will be made in early March regarding the soon to be released version 4.20. If you have questions on this, contact our support department at 678-273-4010 ext 2.

MAS90 & MAS 200 version 4.20 for “early adopters” was released in December, so version 4.20 is in it’s final testing stage.

Meanwhile:
Service Update 4.10.1.8 for Sage MAS 90 & MAS 200 was released in December 2006.

We speculate that Sage has been delaying MAS 90 version 4.20 while they continue to release corrections for MAS 90 & MAS 200 version 4.1. Since its original release, the version 4.10 Sales Order module has had 122 corrections/changes.

The Service Update 4.10.1.8 includes all previous service-update changes. The new group of changes affect the following modules the most:

Accounts Receivable: 11 changes

Ebusiness Manager: 8 changes

Sales Order module: 12 changes, including 4 changes affecting Shipping, 4 affecting Credit-card processing.

In contrast, there were no new changes/corrections for the version 4.10 General Ledger, module.

If you are using Mas90 or Mas200 version 4.10 and would like assistance with downloading or installing these changes, contact us at 678-273-4010 (support) or via our website: www.friendlysystems.com/contacts.htm
