Melle, Germany – February 10, 2006 – ProjectWizards, the makers of Merlin, one of the leading project management applications for Mac OS X today announced the release of their new Universal version of Merlin.

Merlin version 1.3.9 is currently one of the few business applications that can run natively on both a PowerPC based Mac and on Apple’s new Intel machines. We tested Merlin last June during the WWDC 2005 and reported that it was running smoothly and stably on the test Intel machines offered during the event. After Apple released their first Macintosh Intel machines, we are now in the position to also release Merlin’s universal version. Running Merlin on Intel, the speed is the difference. Perfect projects can now be planned faster than ever.

“We’re not just talking speed here,” said Frank Blome, ProjectWizards MD, “we’re talking speed of light.” That is the difference that everyone will notice when they run Merlin on a Mac with Intel processors. The speed of the application can be seen not only while starting it, but one really sees the difference when, for example, the bars in the Gantt chart are moved.

Merlin 1.3.9 is available as a free update under www.projectwizards.net/merlin for all registered users. Besides making Merlin ready for Intel, ProjectWizards have also made a few minor modifications to this version and optimized the import an export of MS Project files.
