Since my last Windows 8 thread is obsolete ( Windows 8 Leaked) now that the Windows 8 Developer Preview has been released, thought I would start a new thread with a more appropriate title.

Any one running pt on it? I installed w8 on my hack, but that was all I got done. Maybe Monday I'll have time to try myself.

I've been using the free Consumer Preview Trial from MS with PT9, and it works pretty well, takes a bit longer for PT to start up though.

Anyone can try the Release Preview, just be sure to make a complete image of your current OS drive - EVEN if you are installing W8 to another HDD.

Yep. That's the version I have. Just didn't know if anyone had tried PT with it.

Windows 8 is here!

Get it today for $39.99 - thats for Windows 8 PRO upgrade, direct download from Microsoft. if you bought a new PC between June and now, go register it at windowsupgradeoffer.com and get your code to buy Windows for $15.

Anyone do the upgrade yet? I'll buy it, but I'm not sure if I will install anytime soon. Got to email several plugin vendors first to let them know I may need new auth codes It's times like this I wish everyone was doing the Plugin Alliance USB stick authorizations.
