MacroSystem US today delivered the March 2011 MSUS Newsletter (via email) and for me, the most exciting announcement is that the Bogart V4 Operating System has entered beta-testing in NTSC!
MSUS President Eric Kloor last Fall announced the preview list of new features & functions that were slated for inclusion in this forthcoming new Operating System for the Casablanca Bogart platform and the V4 OS was released in PAL (Europe & other regions of the world) back on January 5th of this year. I am delighted to see that the software is progressing through the testing phase now in North America.
Justin Philpott - lead Tech from MSUS' Boulder, Colorado office will be attending the MGT 2011 next week in Davenport, Iowa and will be giving the first public viewing of the Bogart V4 OS in North America.
Check out the list shared today about the prominent new features of the Bogart 4 OS below.
Also in today's MSUS Newsletter was news about the 'MSUS March Madness sale for the S-3000 and the S-6000' as well as news that two new Software Packages are nearing release in NTSC:
"PIP 3-D for Bogart is close to release. We're working out the last small bugs, and expect to release shortly. We're working out the last small bugs, and expect to release shortly.
