I think most people get confused by Microsoft calling the operating system "Windows 8", they automatically think that computer executable programs will run on it. In my mind, I consider these "tablet computers" to be nothing more than big cell-phones with large screens and they only run "apps" and not "executables".

Legacy will not work on the Tablet computer versions of Windows 8.
