There is some TypeEditor quirkyness in Visual Studio 2012, but it's not related to Windows 8. Some of the applications you may have to run as administrator for them to have access to the registry keys and such, but everything works.

When I attempted to change it back to the same PW, i got an error regarding complexity. What is weird is that the Grp Policy does not require change and complexity is disabled. Win8 does not seem to be referencing it? Anyway, when I changed my PW, windows SQL services did not get the memo and SF was using Win Auth as the login so it failed. Whew, that was a mouthfull.

There are a few handy things that you may want to consider when dealing with Win8 and Visual Studio. For starters, as much as I hate it, if you leave UAC on, you will have an easier time with some of the things required by VS2012. If this annoys you, like it did me, you can also run the "Troubleshoot Compatibility" tool on the devenv.exe in the "...\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE" folder. If you run VS2012 as an Administrator, it will be more reliable, however, remember that it will be running as a separate session (administrator) so you will have to remap drives, etc. Like you said, whew... a mouthful.
