Tm1 with Windows 8

Hi Everyone
I know that Tm1 is not officially supported on Windows 8.
Question - has anyone tried it, and does it seem ok?
Reason I ask, is because I need a new laptop, and all new laptops have windows 8. I am a developer, and need to run Tm1 on my laptop for demos, and occasional off line development.
Uninstalling Windows 8 and re-installing windows 7 will be a huge headache!
Many thanks
Chris

Unlikely since it's only been out for a few days. Why don't you give it a try and report back to the forum.

I've just run up our standard demo using TM10.1.1 and Architect under Windows 8. No glaring issues so far.
I installed TM1 10 X86 client using the standard install routine - seemed the same as normal. For the server I used the time honoured 'copy bin' technique, albeit the bin folder is full of a lot of irrelevant stuff now.
And - I'm runnning it an a VM - do you think I'm completely mad? (On 2nd thoughts, don't answer that question
)

David, any chance you can enlighten me and anyone else who is interested in the 'copy bin' technique for the server.
I am presuming you just copied the BIN folder from another installation onto your server in the relevant location?

Exactly.
It's a technique which has been around for a while. Not (of course) supported by IBM, and (also of course) the newer features quite often don't work. Still rather useful. We keep a set of bin folders from various versions in our library so we can test stuff without uninstalling and reinstalling.

Just wondering if there is any updates on this I couldn't install Cognos Express on my windows 8 laptop so went back to win 7 however my CFO would like a tablet device.
It would be good if we could give him a surface if this worked with Xcelerator.

I installed Cognos TM1 10.1.1 along with Cognos BI 10.2 on Windows 8. TM1 works fine. However, I observed that Cognos Connection does not show options for all the studios (especially Cognos RS). So, you may not be able to create reports off of your TM1 cube.
HTH,
