Has anyone had any luck mining with Windows 8? Wondering if it will run 8 gpu.

But I'm asking myself which windows 8 it is ?
is professionnal enough ? or do we need the rare enterprise edition ?
what about SMos, would it handle the 8 GPUs on that MB ?
Given the totally unusable so-called "user interface" on 8, you can't PAY me to try to use that turkey piece of junk in a mining machine ever again.
One attempt, and never got past the damned default so-called UI in 6 hours of TRYING was more than enough.
It took me less than an hour on that SAME machine (that came preinstalled with 8 and SUPPOSEDLY already had miner software installed) to blow 8 off it, install LINUX, install dependencies, compile and install and configure mining software, and get the machine hashing.
It says a lot about 8 that it looks like Microsoft is going to support it for a SHORTER total period of time than they offered support for ME or Vista (both of which got outlived by YEARS by previous Windows versions).
When even Microsoft concedes an OS version is junk......you KNOW it's got to be horrible!
