I had 3 compatibility issues, first was Microsoft Security Essentials, which I found amusing, and the other two were my printers, one of which is only a month old.

Re: windows 8 consumer preview
I've had no incompatibilities but I don't run any a/v software or printers on my main computer. That's what servers and firewalls are for.
I'll leave it on here until the end of the week, but my first impressions were "Ohh s#1#, I have to develop for this monstrosity..."
This tinker toy interface is terrible, but I see what they are trying to do. Just wish it wasn't going to be their new default.
Over-all, more of the same. It's not really being developed for the desktop crowd, and much more focused on tablet usage.
