As above. I have tried the preview release of Windows 8, and I think most apps that run under Win7 will run under Win8. Under the hood, it's just little tweaks to the Win32 API. The gorilla lurking in the bush is actually the new Metro API...

Thanks. I already planned to request that. :)

I plan to upgrade to Windows 8 when the Enterprise version is available in DreamSpark Premium. According to this blog post it should have been available starting from "a week after August 25th", i.e. September 1. However, it's not available yet.

After the upgrade I can start updating compatibility information in the database. I plan to do that during normal updates, i.e. I won't update an entry only to update the compatibility information.
