I use a Windows 8 tablet, but I don’t need the SAP portion. I have found that the employee portal works in the desktop version of IE 10 w/ compatibility mode on. I think that the “app” version (that launches
directly from the Start menu) is v11 and doesn’t play nice with the employee portal. So, it is probably worse with the higher functions.

Subject: [MSUNAG] EBS and Windows 8?
Hello,
We have a staff member who needs a new computer. However, her work is very EBS/ SAPGUI focused. She would like a Windows 8 machine, but I’m not sure how practical this would be. I know what the official story is, but has anyone played
with EBS under Windows 8? If so, what works and what doesn’t? If she uses an ESR version of Firefox, will she be okay?
Thanks,
