Windows 8 with AutoCAD

Has anyone tried the newly released version of Windows 8 with AutoCAD? If so, how does it work?

 

My office is using ACA 2009 & 2013 with Windows 7.

No official announcements yet.

But I seriously doubt 2009 will be listed as approved, it's been retired.

Yes, you are right. But, I run ACA 2009, ACA 2013 & Revit 2013 on Windows 7 without any problems.

 

I was just wondering if any of these programs ran on Windows 8.

It could be solved this week, or next month or January or March or they could just wait for R2014: they don;t pre-announce their plans.

If you need a fix today, you need Win7.

I have AutoCAD Architecture 2012 64 bit installed on my Windows 8 machine and it is running just fine. You might have some user account control settings but they can be tweaked to work.  (I don't know which ones.)  The only issue I have seen is that when exiting AutoCAD it will send a report to Autodesk (nearly every time).  I have also noticed that upon exit I have recieved a couple of "Fatal Errors". However to date I have yest to lose any information as it does what I want and then crashes on exit.  Neither has happened today but that doesn't mean it won't.
