Just a heads up for any CCleaner users - the new v3.11 release now includes Windows 8 support: No idea if the previous version was incompatible, but I know there are a few users of this software here so this may be of use .
I used CC Cleaner with both Vista and Windows 7 and it does a great job in cleaning the register. My favorite though is Comodo System-Cleaner: http://system-cleaner.comodo.com/. Not sure if it runs on Windows 8 though as I don’t have my tablet with me to test it.
I created a test C++ application that seemed to work just fine in Windows 8, not much has changed, it should still recognize a newer operating system like any other. The compatibility is all there, i'm sure it's just the locations of files and data from Win7 to Win8 is a little different, and that's why CCleaner needed to be changed to recognize that.
In Ian's post (#1) the quote refers to release 3,11. At the time when the statement was seen on the web, I downloaded and ran 3.11 in Windows 8. It's hard to ascertain with a developer preview, but I do believe it damaged some of the Metro interface accessibility Oddly, it is now updated to 3.13, but there is no mention on Piriform's page that this is also being developed for Windows 8. Caution to the wind, I ran it in Windows 7, without any apparent harm. Ditto Windows 8.
