Yeah, that works so well. You can add a 30 point disclaimer that 
FireAardvark may not work on Windows 8 and the users will still bitch long 
and loud when it doesn't. In the rare case they submit a bug report bamboo 
slivers under the fingernails will be required before they'll admit they 
tried to use it on Windows 8.

I've been on both sides of the fence. When current software wouldn't 
install/run on my Windows 7 box it became a Linux box.
