The LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education NXT Software version 1.1 to be released in August 2007

The team behind the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT is happy to announce that the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education NXT Software version 1.1 will be available for all users in five language versions (English, German, French, Dutch and Japanese) from August 2007. Among its new features this version includes full support for Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit) and the new Intel-based Macintosh systems.

In addition, the new NXT Software offers optimized performance and speed, especially for large program development. New compression methods free up 30kb of useable memory on the NXT Intelligent Brick and shrink most programs and sound files by 40%. The software programming module, called NXT-G, now features intelligent scroll + more than 100 other enhancements.

For more information about availability for both new and existing customers, please contact your local LEGO Education distributor.
