Does LetSys support Windows 8? Answer: YES.

I'm now getting asked if the Holiday Letting System runs under Windows 8. The answer is YES.
We have tested the system fairly extensively on Windows 8, using first the release preview and now the first release.
As has been generally found, if an application works under Windows 7 then it will normally run fine without change under Windows 8, and that has proved to be the case with LetSys.
You will have to get used to the new way of starting applications from the new Start Screen, or using RUN, although you will eventually get used to it! My own guess is that Microsoft will have to bring back the start menu for business users. The learning curve is quite high and therefore there will be a serious productivity hit for a while which business users won't be willing to take.
