Stardock and Windows 8 Developer's Preview

What I've Tried

Thursday, December 29, 2011 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Windows 8

I just tried installing some stuff on Windows 8 64 bit, just for grins and giggles.

 

I realize that a lot will likely change in Windows 8.

 

Anyway, as of now, I have these installed and working.

DesktopX 3.5 installs and works, somewhat.

CursorFX 

Deskscapes

Fences

Icon Pkgr.

ObDock Plus

ObDockPlus2

SoundPackager

Tiles

WinFX 4

 

 

WindowBlinds won't install. Theme Manager wasn't tried since WB didn't install.

LogonStudio installs but has no effect.

 

Again, I realize that Windows 8 is just a Developer's Preview and a lot will change.

Interesting to say the least.  Hopefully during 2012 SD will work on compatibility issues. 

Wonder how that whole Mayan Calendar thing plays in all of this.  This time next year we may not care. 

Oh, thanks for the info RedneckDude.
