i think the only issues you may encounter are related to the metro start screen and the app-store. but i think it is better to wait with the deploy after the release of 8.1 (in this version you can bypass the metro start screen, i prefer that in a corp. network) - anonymous_89761 11 years ago
You can use any old editor to do your project but it pays to get a current solution. There is some nice support for app-store apps and the-interface-formerly-known-as-metro in Flexera AdminStudio 2013.
Technically under the hood windows8 has version 6.2 versus windows7 that came as 6.1. So you could treat Windows8 as an unfortunate servicepack that screwed up a decent GUI.
That is start testing your existing packages on the new platform and most of them will work fine. ;) - EVEEN 11 years ago
