hello everyone.
Does anyone know what is it planned for max on windows 8? Will it work on rt?

I assume Max will work on Windows8. But probably will not work on WindowsRT as RT is built for ARM.

Indeed, I would be interested on using it on a tablet or smartphone.

RT is locked to apps in the MS Store, which basically means that C74 has to pay M$ for the privilege of selling max on RT.

FWIW I have been running Max 6 on Windows 8 for several weeks now. It works fine, you just need to install the iLok driver from http://www.ilok.com (Max will cause a blue screen if you don't do that).

I've had no luck with jitter on windows 8 pro. No jit.qt.movie playback on Max 6.1.3 64bit, and while it works on the 32bit version of Max, it crashes if you make a jit.window.

I've even installed the ilok software from Jadie's link, but that didn't help.
