NOAH System 3.7, with Windows 7 support, is in final testing and is expected to be released by the end of the year. HIMSA will soon begin certifying NOAH modules on Windows 7. In the meantime however, HIMSA suggests contacting your NOAH module supplier to ensure Windows 7 compatibility before purchasing Windows 7.
Watch out for 64-bit! While 64-bit operating systems may offer advantages, a great number of currently certified fitting and measurement modules will not function with 64-bit operating systems. Once NOAH 3.7 has been released, HIMSA anticipates that it will take a great deal of time for a larger number of these modules to be HIMSA certified for 64-bit operating systems. In addition, older 16-bit NOAH modules originally written for NOAH 2 will NEVER be able to function on 64-bit operating systems.
Therefore, if you plan to purchase a new computer with a 64-bit operating system, HIMSA recommends first checking with your module supplier. The changes in NOAH System 3.7 from NOAH 3.6.1 are installation changes. Therefore, if you are running NOAH 3.6.1 Patch G on a Windows XP or Vista operating system, you may not need to move to NOAH 3.7. If however you are running any version of NOAH System earlier that NOAH 3.6.1, now is the time to update! NOAH 3.6.1 and NOAH 3.7 when released are the only supported versions of NOAH System.
