    THESKY FOR MAC OS X, LINUX, WINDOWS AND WINDOWS MOBILE

    ISSUE

    Is Software Bisque actively developing TheSky for Macintosh OS X, Linux, Windows and Windows Mobile operating systems?

    RESOLUTION

    Software Bisque is working on the next generation of TheSky, called "TheSkyX" (as well as it's other astronomy products: CCDSoft, TPoint, Orchestrate, PrecisionPEC and AutomaDome) that can be run under natively Linux, Macintosh OS X, and Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Mobile and other operating systems. 

    We appreciate your patience while we complete this significant rewrite to develop this exciting new technology for the amateur astronomy community.

    When more information is available, Software Bisque will post it on our web site, in print advertising, and on the Software Bisque Support Corner.
