Can't see whay anyone would test 2011 compatibility give that C3D is NOT backward compatible with itself.

As to 2013 and windows 8...what would the argument be for upgrading to such a new OS?

As I can't see the OS upgrade solving any C3D stability issues.

Just tried C3D 2013 on Win8 RC, works as far as starting up and opening drawings goes, haven't really done anything technical with it yet.

But as for Windows 8 goes, stay away, far far away. Ill be sticking to Win 7 until Micro$oft gets rid of the ridiculous UI they introduced! Its hilariously terrible.

Thanks for the practical info I was seeking.
