    Is anyone running Encore CS6 and CC on Windows 8?

      I probably should have initally posted this question here instead of the Encore forum but at the time did not know this sub-forum existed.  A member helpfully pointed this sub-forum out.

       

      I won't add to some of the great comments here about why EOL'ing Encore is a BAD idea.  And another post has helpfully pointed out that just pointing users to how to add Encore 6 to a CC suite install does not make everything better.....because it is very clear on the FAQ that there is NO support for Encore after Windows 7 SP1.   I can only hope that this decision is re-considered.  I can think of at least two other cases over the past few months where a major decision made by a software company was reversed after the user base made their feelings known.

       

      So here is my question.  Is anyone running Encore CS6 with their CC apps on Windows 8?  What about Windows 8.1? And how is it working?

      I am just trying to figure out if Encore is going to work for 3 months, 6 months or a year.....  Of course the frustrating part is you know that some OS patch at some point is going to break something and then it will be a fire drill to get it to work.

       

      Of course this same issue applies to someone that just wants to run CS6 forever which is the other option vs. CC.  I am not sure how the Encore EOL decision co-exists with the statement that the CS6 suite will be updated and made compatible for OS upgrades for an extended period of time.  Or however that was phrased, can't find that now.

       

      I have no intention of maintaining a machine stuck on Windows 7 just to make menus and burn discs forever.  And also as the informal support person for a number of people I am just trying to determine a go-forward strategy.

       

       

       

      Thanks,
