I suggest that those who want to stick with Metastock for awhile purchase v11 somewhere. That should see anyone through the next 5-6 years (Windows 7 will be supported for at least another 5 years). Perhaps if no one buys Metastock v12, Equis may change (dataabse support is only disabled, not removed). If not, it leaves plenty of time to convert to Amibroker.

Windows 8 was announced in late 2008. Maybe they didn't have enough time to accommodate Windows 8 and lock out local data. Any users that are unhappy with the "downgrade" and Equis' future direction regarding data, could add their comments to the discussion below. It's a public forum so Equis should take more notice than posting to this group, the Equis forum or calling their service reps. Regards Stuart >From https://www.facebook.com/metastock/posts/125172174301389 MetaStock Software "Richard Siletti just saw your post on Windows 8. Sorry we haven't responded sooner. Metastock 12 and MetaStock 12 Pro were not developed to run in Windows 8. Having said that, Metastock 12 has been running okay in our testing thus far. Metastock Pro 12 will give you issues due to compatibility with the real-time data feed. We are currently working on this issue." 10 hours ago
