Re: FM8 and Win8 (Was: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only)

[Frank Rees]

Lea,

I'm using an even older version of Frame; Frame 6.0p405 and have 
upgraded to Window 8 ( albeit without a touch screen monitor). Frame 6.0 
works fine and I have not seen any interface or other problems. O do, 
however, use the compatibility feature of Windows to launch Frame under 
Windows XP.

However, I'm a little concerned about Win8. FM8 is five years old, and I'm a
bit concerned about compatibility, especially in the light of some Microsoft
engineers slipping and referring to the "legacy" desktop interface.
Thoughts?

Thanks much,
Lea

Old versions of FrameMaker do what FrameMaker used to do as well as ever.

I'd

really like to get my hands on a copy of FrameMaker 8.

I don't think MS's new can't-call-it-Metro UI has gotten any traction
in corporate environments. If they don't want Windows 8 to be a bigger
flop than Vista, compatibility is essential.

Me too.  FM8 works fine on Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate, and
I'm perfectly happy with it.  Can't stand the UI for FM9
and up, so never use those.

I think it will be several more years before you need to
worry.  XP is still around and working in many places,
and Win 7 is likely to be with us a lot longer, given
the disaster MS perpetrated with Win 8.  They really
can't make enterprise customers "upgrade" to something
as ill-conceived as 8...

I'd give FM 8 on Win 7 another five years, at least.
Not to worry.  ;-)
