ACR7.1/CS6/Bridge work ok in Windows 8, but...


as ms technet member have access windows 8 rtm, loaded on test system, , created windows go version on usb external drive. de-activated cs6 laptop, fired windows go version of w8 on desktop, , installed 64 bit cs6 on desktop/windows go drive combination.  activation completed ok, able update including acr 7.1, , functions worked ok, except ps disabled accelerated graphics.  fixed trip asus website updated driver, , afterwards had full functioning no excuses cs6 running on w8 platform.

 

next moved windows go external drive on laptop - no problems w8 cs6 "lost" activation, decided trial version.  , of course when tried activate informed me @ limit of two.  it's clear (and should not have been surprise) activation process "fingerprints" hardware platform, , @ least @ point doesn't travel on over external drive.  if wanted move ps computer computer w8 drive have deactivate after each use, , re-activate on new system.  btw had moment of panic when moved w8 desktop, cs6 came in trial mode , had visions of having lost second activation.  however, upon re-entering serial number gracefully accepted activation, apparently recognizing existing activation in effect.

 

this not acr subject, stuck here out of laziness, , info useful planning migration w8.  have no problems w8 in general, although of course 1 has learn how navigate new interface, not big issue imo.

interesting.

 

might not matter, though, upgrading windows 8 in more "traditional" sense - i.e., putting on 1 system , using there.

 

i've written book on how tweak windows 8 best desktop experience out of (and metro damned), i've been through windows 8 pretty thoroughly...  far, having worked rtm code now, i'm singularly unimpressed.  why did feel needed carve out desktop visual styles?  it's flat feels sand in eyes!

 

about thing seems bring party leanness - since they've carved out stuff, windows 8 can run half system impact windows 7 has.  other i'm not seeing reason want move - first time in versions of windows ever released.

 

do have ati video card in test system, or running in virtual machine?  ask because apparently catalyst 12.8 release supposed compatible windows 8, , i'm curious how works.
