Malkie - yes, I have VDos working on Win8 on my notebook, works fine. The "slow" problem carries to all the platforms I use it on, the developer isn't quite sure what is causing it but recognizes that it is there. Since it's not an issue across the board in general usage and doesn't seem to impact the more frequent uses of the product, has no particular reason to pursue it.
