Sage Product Alert for Vista

Important Information regarding Sage Software Products Compatibility with Microsoft® Windows Vista™

Effective January 30th, the Vista operating system is generally available to new and existing PC users. The currently shipping versions of Sage BusinessWorks, Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200, Sage MAS 500 ERP systems as well as Sage MAS 200 – SQL Server Edition are not fully compatible with the Vista operating system. It is important to note that the compatibility issues with Vista are not isolated to Sage’s accounting software, but Vista also impacts many of Sage’s third-party products that they leverage to deliver a best-in-class mid-market ERP solution including Crystal Reports® from Business Objects and Microsoft FRx.

The Sage BusinessWorks and MAS Product Teams are currently evaluating their third party products and complementary Sage Software Solutions for a definitive timeline on full compatibility and certification on the Vista operating system. Sage is scheduled to release a Vista Compatibility update on March 1, 2007. This compatibility update and any other Vista related information will be passed on to you as we receive it.

FAQs:
What does Sage Software recommend I do?
We encourage all customers to wait on upgrading to Vista until we can offer full support for Vista including all our third party and complementary products later this calendar year. For any new computer purchases, we recommend that customers request Windows XP Professional.
