This week Microsoft released a developer preview (pre-beta) of Windows 8, which is going to be released sometime next year. I’ve downloaded and installed it to give Diving Log a quick test run on it and to make sure everything works fine. Windows 8 will have two different application environments, the classic desktop you have in Windows 7 and older versions, and a new desktop optimized for touch (e.g. tablets). Microsoft said all existing software will run just fine on Windows 8 on the classic desktop and so did Diving Log. Everything works a expected. I will try to create also a touch optimized version of Diving Log, but it is too early to announce anything in this regard.
