TomA Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 25, 2013 #9 Win 8 I installed Basic4Android on my new Windows 8 Laptop and it ran with no problems - also installed the YouWave emulator that I use for a lot of my testing with no problems. Just curious about what Windows 8 users think of it - personally I find it a real pain and ended up installing one of the Start Menu addons that are available. Maybe the interface is OK with a touch screen but it is a nuisance with a mouse or touchpad and the more applications installed, the worse it gets. One comment I ran into online called it an updated version of the Windows 3.1 Program Manager. Upvote 0

JakeBullet70 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 25, 2013 #10 Works fine here on a ACER Core I5 Win-8 laptop with touch screen. I also loaded a '3rd party' start bar. The touch screen is GREAT for testing your Android apps in the emulator but really stinks from a programming point of view and I never use it. Upvote 0
