October 29, 2001–Wolfram Research is pleased to announce that Microsoft Windows XP has been added to the list of supported platforms for Mathematica 4.1. “For months, I’ve been running Mathematica 4.1 on a daily basis under Windows XP. Our experience is that it is an excellent and reliable system for running Mathematica. We’ve discovered no problems specific to the shipping versions of Windows XP,” says John Fultz, Manager of Front End Technologies at Wolfram Research. “Our Quality Assurance department has given Mathematica 4.1 under Windows XP a full workout with very satisfactory results,” he added.

Future versions of Mathematica will take full advantage of a variety of new Windows XP features, including themes and expanded internationalization support. Mathematica‘s platform-independent, leading-edge design makes it easily compatible with most new software and emerging technologies.
