Windows 8 and Livecode

[Happyrever]

Does anyone know of any issues with these two working together on desktop and mobile?

Don't know about mobile (and note of course that Windows 8 will not run on Windows 7 mobile devices), but so far LiveCode works fine with Windows 8. No Metro support, of course, but otherwise works as expected.

It's a bit confusing, but Windows 8 is not Metro.
Metro is an internal code name of a typography-based design language created by Microsoft, originally for use in Windows Phone 7.

Metro (Windows RT) apps. are not Desktop apps, they are aimed primarily for Windows 8/RT Tablets and Phones and Windows RT is part of Windows 8 OS.
Think about Windows RT (Metro) apps as an alternative to iOS and Adroid apps.

There are tablets and phones with ARM processors and they support only Windows RT apps (No Desktop).
Windows RT is a separate OS developed for ARM CPUs.
Desktop apps are supported only on tablets with Intel processors with Windows 8.

LiveCode is aimed to be cross-platform, probably the support for Windows RT should be in plans too.
