Here is what I have successfully loaded so far.

CCD Stack 2
CCDops
Focus Max
MaximDL ver 5.18 and 5.23 (updated)
Maxpoint
Mount Hub Pro

Pempro ver2
Pixinsight
Registar
Starry Night pro plus 6
Sky Pro X
All work fine.
The only problem I had so far was with Adobe CS4, the installer would not run (Adobe's fault). Could be a big hassle for some but if you have the time/expertise/patience to work through it you may have a win not sure if it is possible. I couldn't be stuffed messing around and upgraded to CS6 which went straight on no worries. All my plugins/ATN files work perfectly in CS6 just like they used to in CS4 (astronomy tools V 1.6, gradient xterminator, noise ninja, topaz, HLVG etc). Strangest thing is I loaded an old copy of Adobe illustrator (ver 9,,,,talking 1990's) which would not work properly in win 7 even in compatibility mode yet it loaded straight onto win 8 without any problem and runs perfectly. Also my Canon DSLR drivers are all working again (stopped working in win 7) as does my scanner which also stopped working in win 7 (tried to fix many times with no luck) so I am pretty happy as I have not had to upgrade any hardware besides the SSD which I chose to do.
