Hello guys, we could make a list of games and softwares compatible with windows 8 7989 x64, for using in the computer, this can help many people! - I installed here Visual Studio 2010 Ashampoo Burning 10 Skype 5.6 beta Mipony 1.4 at the moment is only.
If things are working, we don't need to address here, we only need to address the issues and problems...
I see no problem with having a thread for compatibillity regarding Windows 8. If anything it makes good sense to have a list of programs that are either compatible or not. In light of that i shall edit the thread title and make it a sticky. +1 to OP.
Does anyone know if Xtrap loads fine on Windows 8 i am ready to install but i would never use it unless it can run Xtrap a game i play (sword2) needs to run xtrap and xtrap is iffy about apps.
This will be my only post in this thread. I respectfully disagree. There's just absolutely too much software that is compatible with Windows 8. The list would be much shorter if we can have a list of software that ISN'T. The software that isn't compatible, we can address and try to fix. People here to get problems solved and questions answered. They will most likely install the software first to see if it works, it takes the same time to install it as it does to see if it does. With that in mind, I would like to offer up a counter-list of software that doesn't work with Windows 8 builds.
