I am fairly confident there should be no issue with the core of the code working in win8, mostly because wmc is supposed to be the same as win7. The problem is that the installer I use for the server, which uses MS's one click deployment, doesn't work in win8. I love one click-deployment, it is dead simple. I have a little bit of experience with the older way of doing installers and I found it to be a big headache.
I tried debugging this with a tester remotely but it was just going to slow so it was abandoned. I need to get a win8 machine with wmc up for me to figure it out, and I don't have that yet. But if netflix is better, I've got more incentive now. I will get on this.
I'm glad I helped...LOL.
In comparison to the one in Media Center from Windows 7, it is really THAT good (IMHO). I use a gyration remote though, as some selections require a mouse, or a touchscreen (so if you wanted everything to be done by key presses or arrow keys, you may be a bit unhappy).
Please let me know if I can be more help, I am no programmer though.
I could certainly find out if any data has been relocated to different files, locations, etc...
I do know that media center between 7 and 8 has changed a bit though, as they apparently pulled a lot of the core of MC out from inside the operating system to more of an app based association. Using something like MyChannelLogos with Windows 8 for example no longer allows for modifying certain things like the guide (not the logo's). I believe the access to things like that in Windows 8 is more closed off, or uneditable in whatever ways.
