I am looking to get a new laptop to run my show as I have a laptop with windows Vista and the compatibility issues are horrendous.  But it is hard now to find anything with Windows 7 on it anymore.  Everything has windows 8 on it now.  Does anyone else have any laptop or pc with windows 8 and are there any compatilibity issues with x-lights?  I have asked this same question for nutcracker and vixen users as well as I use both of those items also.   

Thanks
Julie

Perfect - thank you so much Sean.  I wanted to verify before I did anything!

Thanks again!
