Microsoft Surface : pas de support de Finale sous Windows RT Le sujet est résolu

[michelp]

Justin Phillips, collaborateur de MakeMusic, met en garde ceux qui voudraient utiliser la tablette Microsoft Surface (qui doit encore sortir !) : pas de support de Finale sous Windows RT.
Il vaut mieux s'assurer de tourner sous Windows 8, dont la compatibilité doit d'ailleurs encore être formellement confirmée peu après sa sortie.

"Another word of warning, we will not be supporting Windows RT.

This means that Finale will not run on the Windows RT versions of Surface. So if anyone is looking at one of the cool tablet options for Windows 8, make sure it is running Windows 8 and not RT."

Et plus récemment, ceci :

"Yeah, it's been confusing to some already, we're fielding questions about this now and MS hasn't really made it clear on some of their Surface pages that Win RT won't support normal Windows apps. For us to go to RT, we'd have to rewrite the entire app from the ground up, and the requirements to get in the official store are quite restrictive from a design standpoint even.
It's all pretty early still, but I doubt many pro audio/video/graphics apps will be able to do it. Now a cut down version or utility may be a different thing all together..."

En clair, pas de Finale sur Windows RT, et ceci vaut pour toutes les tablettes (pas seulement Surface) fonctionnant sous Windows 8 RT.

Sur la compatibilité entre Finale et Windows 8 :

"Just as a word of caution, while we foresee no issues with Windows 8 and Finale 2012 based on some initial testing, we haven't certified any of our products with Windows 8 at this time. We typically announce compatibility within a few days of an OS release."
