The tablet version (more accurately called the ARM CPU version) is called Windows RT. It is *only* Metro, and does not not support desktop applications at all. I have tested Windows 8 Pro x64 in a brand-new Dell laptop (one which came with Windows 7 and does not have a touchscreen, by the way); generally speaking, the whole experience of using it for regular Windows desktop stuff has been disappointing; the whole switch-back-to-Metro-to-start-a-new-app is annoying. I didn't figure out yet a convenient way to create desktop icons for applications, which would help a lot -- it is possible to do it the hard way, but I didn't find something equivalent to right-mouse-drag-from-the-Start-Menu. But I had no problems running old apps on it; I even managed to install MS Money 99 -- yes, a *fourteen-year-old* app written for *Windows 98*. Basically, it happily accepted any application that Windows 7 could run. System utilities are a different matter, of course. But I expect Seamonkey will run fine in Windows 8 desktop. The Windows 8 specific bugs somebody listed, from what I saw, are mostly related to setting up convenient shortcuts and defining SM as a default application and shouldn't keep it from working correctly.

Mozilla is more or less putting all their eggs in one Basket. Although SeaMonkey is under the Mozilla Umbrella a different Group of people are working on SeaMonkey. The Mozilla Main office is simply ignoring SeaMonkey and Thunderbird for that Matter. They just recently announce That they will only do Bug fixes and updates in code to ThunderBird as Email New Clients have progressed as far as they can progress so far as additions and inovation. So most RD wil be shifted to FireFox only. SeaMonkey still uses FireFox's code base for the Web Browser and ThunderBird's code base for mail and News. So until the engineers in charge get tired or croak SeaMonkey will continue to be. I dread the Thoughts of the Day SeaMonkey will no longer be available. It get much enjoyment out of Reading newsgroups and Email. And not much of a Fan of the web based email Readers. I tolerate them because Microsoft and Adobe have gone strictly to that. I find it amazing that NNTP has never gone down in its entire existence (except for the occasional Server (equipment)melt down NNTP was first put into operation as a Joint project between the armed services and Major Universities back in the late 50's early 60's.

Interviewed by CNN on 11/11/2012 04:31, Desiree told the world: I thought Thunderbird was not being further developed. Well, yes and no. As I understand it, Thunderbird has been sorta put in the back-burner. There's no longer any big push to add new features to it, partly because e-mail as a class is a rather mature application and people can't think of any major features worth adding.

The bottom line for you is how to get your e-mail if SM will not install. You have a few options: 1. If all your e-mail accounts are hosted by your ISP you can use their Web Mail interface and access to your mail. 2. If your mail accounts are hosted by different mail servers you can use a third party access point like mail2web.com to access all your accounts.

I have used mail2web.com several years ago when on vacation and it is ok for AWHILE. But I need a mail client on my computer...not web mail as a permanent solution. I had assumed I could use Sea Monkey. Claws and Postbox 3 work on Windows 8. Thunderbird works on Windows 8.
