windows 8

Is the scratch windows download compatible with Windows 8?  The download didn't list it and when I tried to install it, my laptop crashed.  Thanks.

Re: windows 8

If it's compatible with Win7, it should be with Win8 (NOT Windows RT - that's very different!)

Re: windows 8

I've just installed it and it works fine.

You might be confusing windows 8 with windows RT, which cannot run Scratch.

Re: windows 8

It runs perfectly.
It's also very good with the touchscreen.

Re: windows 8

If you are on Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro, it should work fine.
If you are on Windows RT, however, it will not work. Hopefully someday MIT will release a Scratch app to the Windows Store  smile
