Hi all,


"Intuitive operation with 2-finger multi-touch gestures" means NOT that it is compatible with Windows 8. It is multitouch compliant.

Be patient. Siemens has to test a lot to make sure that their sofwares run on a specified OS.
Use Windows XP or Windows 7, it's proven. And it is VERY important for industrial applications.

I think it's only prepared, but not tested yet.
Maybe I'm wrong.
