HI, Aaron Peeler,

Thank you for your reply.
I report to my team I am willing, that there was a reply from you. 
As soon as possible, I hope that VCL2.4 of the "New Feature", "additional support for Windows8" is added.


HI, Aaron Toth,

>> We use VCL 2.3.2 with windows 8 and windows server 2012 without any modification in vcl. We didn't try windows 8.1 (and WS 2012R2) yet.
>> Windows 8 image use the Windows 7 module and Windows Server 2012 use Windows Server 2008 module.

I was pleased to read your report. 
Architecture of Windows8 is 32bit or 64bit? Cygwin is 32bit or 64bit? 
Our team is using a VCL2.2. 
I tell my team to your report. we will consider as soon as possible to upgrade to VCL2.3.2.
