I have only tried their IB API. It required some components (c++ redistributable, j# redisttributable) to register API. I will check if I can run TWS by itself and let you know tomorrow ( away from my Win 8 machine now)

Quote from learner2007:

I'm going to buy some new computers shortly and was wondering if anyone, including IB, has tried TWS on a pre-release version of Windows 8, and if they encountered any problems that didn't exist when using TWS on Win.7.

Thank you.

Windows 8 Evaluation copy Build 8400 runs IB TWS and Ninja without any problems on my older Dell 490 with dual Zeon processors.

TWS installs and runs on Win8. Demo had to be run using desktop browser not metro browser (Win 8 can be confusing at times). Obviously Java install comes first before TWS.

Thank you very much for the information you provided. Based you what you said I'll wait for the winter models that come out this month with Win. 8 installed.

Thank you again for your time and trouble.
