We are about to get started with a new application and wondering if we create an application with touch features using Telerik Win8, will this app run fine on Vista and Win7?

The other question we had was: if you create a Silverlight application using Telerik Silverlight controls; I suppose the app will run fine in Win8 but will you have touch feature (assuming the user has touch screen monitor, of course)

Hello Mike,

Unfortunatelly, applications that are built against Windows 8 cannot run on Windows 7 or Vista.

About the second question - yes, you can run Silverlight applications on Windows 8 and our RadControls for Silverlight support touch. For more reference you can take a look at the following help article - http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/touch-support.html.

I hope this helps. Let me know should you have any other questions.
