HL and Windows 8

Has anyone tried HL with Windows 8 yet, and if so, does it work okay?

Hi CakeGuy,

I have been using Hero Lab on two machines running Windows 8 Enterprise edition, for about 2 months now.

I would say it works okay..

Anyone tried it on a tablet with surface yet? is it possible to install on it? And is it also possible to make HL widgets to use (if you have multiple screens on your desktop?

The version of Windows 8 that is available now is RT, which is only for ARM processor-equipped slates. These devices can only install applications from the Windows Store, and only applications that are compatable with the processors. Late January is the release date for the full-on Windows 8 Pro slates, which will allow for installing of standard applications.
