Merry Christmas All, Am buying a new PC and want know if Windows 8 is compatible with our software (ACARS) and FSINN or Squawkbox. Would Windows 7 be a better option? Comments appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure about FSInn, but SquawkBox and ACARS will work in Win8. If you have the option on the OS, my personal advice (for what it's worth) would be 7. If you do end up getting 8, there are several threads in here on the topic if you have trouble.

Hi Chris

I am running windows 8 and FSInn with no issues at all. Was runnning SB before with no issues either, had to go with FSINN due to a conflict in-between SB and the new REX Latitude.

Hope this helps

Florin
