Hi Devs,
just FYI: I tried to run 3.99.2.1-rc3 on Windows 8 (32-Bit) and it gets to the point where the connection is established and it tries to start the X server on the client, then it completely crashes Windows 8 (forced reboot).
Attempting to run vcxsrv.exe on its own doesn't seem to do anything: There's no black X desktop showing up, but Win8 doesn't crash either.
With Windows 8 schedluled for release in October 2012, I guess *someone* should take a look at this soon.
