And at least 10 people have told me they are running Second Life on Windows 8.
-
How about Windows 7? And 64 bit?

• Microsoft still does not know. 
• Add that to the list of things Microsoft does not know.  (Contemplate infinity.)
• Lots of us do know.
• Windows 7 -- 64 bit -- Second Life -- No problems:

Whenever you get a new computer

-
Update your Driver!

• From the Vendor's web site
• Never let Microsoft update your video driver

Installer may not recognize your graphics card

• May complain about your graphics card
• Don't stop.  Install and try
• May set graphics to minimum level
• Check graphics settings

Potential Problem (any OS)

• If you are running Skydrive or Windows Live Essentials
• Crash on image download or upload, a fix
• I see suggestions that Skydrive may keep SL from opening on Win 8

In 1937 Spanish painter Pablo Picasso created one of the most important icons of the 20th century when he made the Guernica. Painted in black and white, depicting the horrors of war, it is today as solid and modern as it was when it was first shown in the 1937 International Fair in Paris.
