October 26th, 2012: Microsoft launched their latest rendition of Windows called Windows 8 for desktops and laptop PCs, and Windows RT for Tablets. The two new operating systems appear similar but have some differences internally as to how they work with other programs.
CarleySoftware programs WILL work with Windows 8 laptops and desktop PCs, but NOT Windows 8 RT tablets. Microsoft may make updates to their Windows 8 tablet operating system at some point in the future that will allow older Windows applications to work on the new tablets.
If you have purchased a CarleySoftware product dated January 2011 or newer, it is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit and will work on Windows 8 if you buy a new laptop or PC. But if you buy a windows 8 tablet, CarleySoftware will NOT work on the tablet until Microsoft makes an update that allows it. No word yet on when this might happen.
As of March 30th, 2012, the CarleySoftware website has had over 250,000 visitors, and over 1,000,000 page views!
Unfortunately, most of these visitors have been lookers rather than buyers.
Even so, we do want to sincerely thank those who have purchased our automotive training and quick reference guide software for their help in supporting CarleySoftware and making this website possible.
