The new computer is running Windows 8, will my previous version of FTM work with 8 should I purchase the new 2013 FTM program? Duff your post is interesting. The only place I have seen FTM 2013 to purchase is through amazon.com. Any comments or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have it on Samsung slate and a couple other machines. For those wondering about ftm on win8, it runs fine in desktop mode, aka not on any "RT" devices. I'd love a windows phone version. OR some open read only apis and I could write my own wp8 apps! Thanks for the win8 version. I have it on Samsung slate and a couple other machines.

Anything special I should know before I upgrade this pc and then get your new app? I do have FTM12 installed here. I do have another pc already running with the Win8 upgrade. I use that sometimes as it is hooked up to my large screen tv. I do not have FTM installed on that. Can I install the App on that one and use this pc without going to W8?
