This is the text I received after searching for Windows 8:



The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: windows 8.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.

The "why not" meant "why won't it work with Windows 8"...

Ohhhh laughs ... Had a friend who just couldnt get cool viewer to work on her laptop ( WIN 8 )

after spending time with her we got it all sorted out. Cool VL is workin fine now.

Indeed... I don't think many Cool VL Viewer users will care about Windows 8 compatibility, since this viewer is all about UI stability in time (meaning no distressful UI change for "old timers") and efficiency (MS will have to explain how an UI that doesn't allow you to see more than one application window on screen at a time is more efficient than one which can show as many windows as the user needs), things that Windows 8 completely broke. So, I don't foresee Cool VL Viewer users adopting Windows 8 as their OS...
