Just installed Windows 8 64 64bit preview (build 8400) on one of my systems.
Thought Id test how flowcode holds up under it.

Tried Flowcode 5 (PIC) installs, registers and activates without any problems, so does FC4 PIC (Both latest versions)

But I have so far been unable to get any of the drivers to install.
Tried EB006, HP488, MIAC and ECIO. Will have another go over the weekend after playing with Windows 8 a bit more, and report back.Settings are so obscure to find, need to look at it a bit more :x :(

First impressions of Windows 8, in a word, YUK, Im am not impressed. Will be sticking with Windows 7

Hello

I have test also win8.....!!!!?????
I think the handling as "worstation" is veriextremely elaborately,both 32 and 64bit. I show no more "speed" as with win7 for the progs.
For me win 7 is the better one.

Thanks for the heads up on that one, we will probably install the release preview at some point to check everything.

I cant imagine myself straying from Windows 7 any time soon!
