I’m migrating one of our ColdFusion 8 servers to a 64-bit server and was wondering if anyone knows of a place to download the 64-bit version of ColdFusion 8?
Thanks,
Paul
You can download CF8 64 bit from here:

Just be sure to notice that in CF8, there was only support for 64-bit in CF 8 Enterprise (or Developer) but not CF 8 Standard. That was changed in CF9, so that you can run 64-bit on either edition.
(Here's something perhaps related, if yours is a move to a more modern 64-bit version of Windows: beware as well that if you're deploying on a server running IIS 7, that was also not supported in CF 9 (or 8) and required manual tweaks to get it to work. CF 9.0.1 (the free updater that you install on top of 9.0) does add that support.)

Windows 7 was removed from the operating system requirements list when 8.2 came out. Is there a technical reason for that, or is it just falling off the support list because of it's age?
I'm seeing nothing in the changelog for 8.2 that lends to it not running on Windows 7.
Keep in mind this is for development purposes only.
Official Microsoft Support for Windows 7 has ended or is ending. If Microsoft won't support the OS, it stands to reason Sitecore will not.

I recently installed windows 8.1 on my virtual machine. My SAS version is 9.3.
I have a 64 Bit system, x64 based processor on my Windows 8.1
I checked this link which tells me that enhanced editor on SAS 9.3 is not supported on Windows 8/8.1 (excluding Pro or Enterprise).
http://support.sas.com/kb/44/495.html
And this link tells me which SAS components go with each respective Windows Edition:
http://support.sas.com/supportos/list
Is there a way around this ? Using SAS without the enhanced editor is like playing with a fetus instead of a child (Apologies if anyone is offended, This situation disturbs me a lot)
SAS has not supported 'Home' versions since Windows XP; while Win7 Home was capable of running SAS, it isn't officially supported either.
You may be able to get Enterprise Guide working; in my Pro 8.1 installation I ran into the same error, and never got the EE working but did get EG working.
Your best bet is to upgrade SAS to release 9.4; it's a free upgrade. And BTW, they just released the first maintenance version (9.4M1), so be sure to get that.
Since you're using operating systems inside a virtual machine, couldn't you just boot up another version of Windows in your virtual machine(e.g. Windows 7) that is compatible with SAS? From my understanding of virtualization, you can run multiple different operating systems at the same time. It's the whole point of virtualization.
This is my first post here and please apologize me for my very poor English.
Current state:
I have a project that is very advanced, until now i use the DirectX SDK from June 2010, and several other librarys (Assimp, FreeImage, Bullet etc....).
My development environment is Win7, with VS2010 professional (win sdk 7.1A).
My question is, must i rewrite my DirectX code (with win sdk 8) to support windows 8?
I have searched around the web, and the only post that i find was the blog from Chuck Walbourn "http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chuckw/archive/2012/03/22/where-is-the-directx-sdk.aspx".
Thank you in advance

No, you can use DirectX SDK and Windows SDK 7.1A. It will work in Windows 8. But you will can not use it's new features, and cannot make Windows Store Apps.
Also, if you want to migrate to Windows 8 SDK, you don't need change much in your code, just a headers and some functions names and parameters.
If you want make Windows Store Apps you need to to migrate to Windows 8 SDK and cut some things such as D3DCompiler.h, Effects framework etc.
I have a shell extension that uses IThumbnailProvider and IInitializeWithStream interfaces to generate thumbnail previews for the registered file types. It's working great on Windows 7 but it doesn't work on Windows 8.
I've found out that Windows 8 has 2 new related interfaces: IThumbnailCachePrimer and IThumbnailSettings. But the preliminary documentation of Microsoft doesn't explain anything...
Does anybody have some info about how the preview control system has changed in Windows 8?
Ok, actually, the thumbnail processing in Windows 8 Consumer Preview still works with the WinVista/7 API.
It's just that by default Win8 doesn't come with the vc++ runtimes, but only the .net versions of those runtimes...silly error :/
Well, at least now it works in Desktop mode although quite slowly. The poor performance is maybe due to the fact ｍｙ Win8 is still a beta ｒｕｎｎｉｎｇ ｗｉｔｈｉｎ ａ ｖｉｒｔｕａｌ ｍａｃｈｉｎｅ．
I am developing a sidebar gadget for windows 7 using Silverlight in an enterprise company (70K+ employees).
All of our windows 7 client builds are x64, hence all the sidebar processes are running as x64.
Even though I know that there is an option switching to a 32 bit version,
I cannot allow this to myself – people will have to execute registry files, or a GPO will have to be applied, etc…
I have been desperately waiting for Silverlight 5th version since it’s supposed to have a 64 bit runtime.
Now, when sidebar starts the gadget, it says that I am missing Silverlight 5 runtime, suggesting to download it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/locale/en-us/html/coming-soon_5.0.0.html
There is a link on this page that leads me back to:
http://www.silverlight.net/getstarted/silverlight-5-beta/
Where I have already downloaded the beta tools and runtime for Silverlight 5!
So what’s the problem? What am I missing here? Is there a x64 bit support or no ?
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
By the way – if I switch to a 32 bit sidebar version on PC – all works fine…
UPDATE: Silverlight 5 RC version just released, with 64 bit support
