Windows 8 is expected in Juli, ie possibly only a few days away. We need to test how the TL client works on this platform, and eventually probably also make it an officially supported platform. Probably also buy a machine with Windows 8.
Actually, the release date is announced to October 26 2012: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/07/18/windows-8-will-be-available-on.aspx We cannot wait for this; moving to next release.
Order a machine for this.
We should also test with Norton antivirus, see issue 13848.
Updating time estimation.
Everything seems to work. We're not doing the sound thing and it was not strictly speaking a Windows 8 problem so I removed it from the "depends on" list.
*** Bug 4588 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
(to clarify: the sound thing refered to in comment #7 is bug 2831).
I have tested client build 3966 on Win8 Client works as expected when authenticating smartcard. Note, tested with a SITHS card and it worked out of the box without netid installed on the Win8 client. - Audio redirection Works as expected except for the issue on bug #2831 - Driver redirection Works as expected, tested with special My documents and copying/deleting creating files - Printer redirection Works as expected, with and without option for displaying local printer selection dialog. - Smartcard redirection Works as expected - Serial redirection Failed to test this due to lack of win8 drivers for our specific usb->ser cabel GUC232A, this one is old... we should definitly get a new one.
Basic tests has be done installing and running client build 3966 on windows server 2012. I didnt stumble upon any oddities however, sound and smartcard redirection was not tested.

There was no problem with the installer while installing the client.
