Will STK 0.8 run in Windows 8?

Hello everybody,
I have a question,
Will Supertuxkart run in Windows 8 with the touch gestures?

Thank you for answers

It's been tested already and shown to work (EDIT: Actually, it was 0.7.3 that was tested, but I see no reason for 0.8 to suddenly stop working). I guess it will not run in Metro (or what was previously known as Metro), but in classic desktop mode.

If you mean using Touch Gestures, not the play. Touch gestures if I understand correctly is the equivalent of mouse which can't be used to PLAY STK. So you might be able to use it on the menus but not for races. But the game will run if Arthur says it will.

Well, it is not allowed to. Only apps from the Windows store are allowed to use "Metro".
