What is WD’s stance on making WD Backup Anywhere Premium (MEMEO) compatible with Window 8? By this is meant fully operational and not via any workarounds that have been posted in various forums.,
Windows 8 has been available for months, hence the question.
So far, there is no clue anywhere (WD’s site and Memeo’s site) as to the roadmap for the product.
Is WD abandoning WD Backup Anywhere Premium (MEMEO)?
