Probably.
I'm not sure we've ever had trouble with new Windows OS's;
If they've ever gotten one thing right, it's backwards compatibility.
I sell commercial software based around FLTK, and continue to have
one executable for each GUI application that runs on all versions of
Windows, from NT up through Win7.

works with it.
Both Staples and Office Depot are selling it for $69 right now:

http://www.staples.com/windows8/directory_windows8
..which is better than $199, and up like it was for Vista and Win8.
The reviews are pretty bad though. Can't wait to share this person's
