Hi, I have quite a few apps, built with Revolution 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x and LiveCode 4.x, 5.x and 6.x and they all seem to work. Once in a while, there is a version that won't run at all, but most versions of RR and LC work on every major Windows version, including Win XP, Win Vista, 7, 8 and 8.

I believe anything we make that works in Windows 7 should also work in Windows 8 or 8.1. It's amazing how far computing has come in such a short time. I wish full computer OS' had been available on tablets sooner though. Would have made mobile apps easier to build, imho. http://www.amazon.com/D

Hi David, Have you tried any sqlite stuff with LC/W8? I'm not 100% sure but I think a special version of the sqlite librar is needed to run on W8, would be good to get confirmation/denial of that. Pete Pete lcSQL Software On Sat, Nov 3, 2012 at 8:41 AM, David C. wrote:

My understanding is that Win8 on Intel will continue to work fine, but my concern is that Win8 is also available for ARM, and we don't currently have ARM compiles of the LC engine for either of the platforms that run on ARM (Win and Linux). Fingers crossed that we'll see that soon -- Ric

I don't really foresee livecode being able to build metro apps anytime in next couple of years. Chances are that livecode apps will work almost like they do in win7, but will require some tweeks to fix some of the compatibility issues with the new api. But livecode building metro apps? I just don't
