Visual Studio 2010 SP1 incompatible with Windows 8?

Question

I ran Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant on my laptop today, and I saw something very interesting. Visual Studio 2010 SP1 is not compatible with Windows 8, but Visual Studio 2010 (no service pack) is compatible.
Does Visual Studio 2010 SP1 work on Windows 8? If not, are there just a few specific functions that do not work correctly, or does it just crash and burn and become unusable?

Answer 1

Compatibilty Center listed out that Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1 is not compatible with Windows 8. But Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate SP1, Visual Studio 2010 Professional SP1, Visual Studio 2010 Premium SP1 are compatible with Windows 8.

Which version of Visual Studio you are using?

Visit the Compatibility Center for more details about application compatibility.
