    youporn has something to do with ISP, nothing to do with w8, w7, or xp.

    People live in Kuwait for their money, not for freedom to be enjoyed from other countries.

    Excessive porn is hazardous to your health! LOL

    People of Kuwait live in Kuwait because it is our country.

    Just joking, anyway, what you Said is True but not fully correct. If you have trouble while visiting Youporn it could depend on your browser. For example ie10 is part of Windows 8 (even if it is a 3rd party application) so in that case you could see it as an OS problem.

    end of O.T.

    The only program I encountered so far, that I use, and that is not working in Windows 8 even in either compatibility mode, because of an outdated Themida security, included in the executable file itself, is the MapleStory MMORPG game client (MapleGlobal, to be exact, I don't know much about what other versions (KoreaMS, JapanMS, ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, ThailandMS, MapleSEA and EuropeMS) use, because I do not have access to them (well.. actually I lie, I have official access to both GlobalMS and EuropeMS (as Israel is a country "in-between three continents", both are open to me), I prefer gaming on the Global version) ).

    As the AhnLab HackShield security is embedded in the executable, it checks, how the game is being run. It includes checking against virtual machine loads (preventing the game from starting inside VMs), and against compatibility mode settings ("please start on the real system", thus rendering compatibility mode totally useless).

    But, so far to my discovery, that strict security does not enforce itself, if running on a system, that is being directly booted to the physical computer from a virtual hard disk (VHD) file. That can count as sort of a secondary OS installation, but without partitioning the physical drive.

    So:

    That is why Compatibility Mode remains important - developers putting OS-isms into their applications. It's not just those of us with unreleased OSes that get bit, either; I've had the problem with every version of Windows at some point - even after the OS had been RTM for months.

    Does Truecrypt system partition encryption works on Windows 8 beta? Will Windows 8 beta boot correctly if the partition is encrypted by Truecrypt? You don't have to full encrypt a drive, I would be happy if someone just run an encryption test.
