Windows 8 and QM 09 ?

Is it safe to say that the Articulate technicians/engineers have been using Windows 8 Preview to see how the Ariticulate applications will work with it?
Will Windows 8 users need to do anything other than installing the Articulate software? Will the Flash player already by loaded on the Windows 8 machines? Do you see any issuses with Articulate QM09 and the Windows 8 IE 10 browser?
Any info on this upcoming Windows OS and Articulate products would be appreciated.

Windows 8 is officially out, I too am awaiting any information on compatibility between Articulate's products and the new OS Larry.
We are actively testing Windows 8 compatibility. I haven't personally encountered any issues since upgrading but we'll definitely update the tech specs once we know more.
I would like to further ask of the possibility using Articulate Storyline on a Windows 8 tablet?
HI Francesca and welcome to Heroes! Windows RT tablets and Storyline won't work together. We haven't yet announced support for Windows 8 in all its configurations. I would encourage you to subscribe to our blog for updates as they become available.
Justin - thanks for your reply. We will not be using Windows RT tablets but tablets with the full version of Windows 8 running on them. Answer still the same?
Right. We don't have an official stance on Windows 8 support at this time. I have been using Windows 8 and our software on a desktop and a laptop without any problems.
I'm running into an interesting problem with Windows 8 user's reporting data not displaying in Articulate online. Not incomplete, just not there at all. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a solution?
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes Graham!
Are you able to see the user's activity through any of the reports? If their information is showing in score results, but not in activity, it may be due to the security permissions.
In order for results to be recorded in the "Activity" reports, a user must log into Articulate Online with their email address and password. To ensure that results get recorded in the "Activity" reports, you will need to set the security permissions on the content item to Private and grant the appropriate users access to the course. Here's how.
Let us know if this helps!
Good morning Graham!
I'm not sure if you were able to resolve this issue, yet. However, there is some additional information that may help you.

Have a great day!
Thank you, Christine!
Unfortunately, none of those solutions have remedied the problem. All other users are displaying activity, score results, and progress but none of my Win 8 users.
I'm working on getting screenshots from users proving they actually completed modules to go from there.
Thanks for your help!
