The overall compatibility of Windows 8 with existing apps is very high. However, some
compatibility issues are possible because of innovative new features, tightened security, and
improved operating system reliability.
IT pros planning for application compatibility should consider the “Windows 8 Release
Preview and Windows Server 2012 RC Compatibility Cookbook” available from the Microsoft
Download Center at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id= 27416 to be
essential reading. This document describes changes in Windows 8 and Microsoft Windows
Server 2012 that could break an application, how those problems manifest themselves, and
how to mitigate those problems. Although this document is targeted primarily at developers
working on the compatibility of their apps, it offers a glimpse into potential compatibility
issues. (The large size of the document does not necessarily mean that there will be numerous
problems.)
The compatibility cookbook is theoretical, but you will need empirical data from your
environment to assess and mitigate your applications. The Application Compatibility Toolkit
(ACT) helps you inventory and test applications, devices, and PCs for compatibility with
Windows 8. You can get compatibility information from Microsoft and independent software
vendors (ISVs), identify compatibility issues in your environment, and share compatibility
data with other ACT users. ACT provides tools that can help you analyze and mitigate the
compatibility issues that you discover in your organization.
