P.S Just so there is no confusion - I'm talking about the desktop version of
Windows 8 that is designed to run on the same range of PCs that support
Windows 7. There is another similar-looking, but very different, version of
Windows 8 called Windows RT that is designed for the new ARM-based Tablet
computers (e.g. Microsoft Surface RT):

http://www.microsoft.com/surface

BlackBox (and any other PC software that has not been explicitly ported to
ARM) will NOT run on Windows RT and there is no 'compatibility mode'.

"Windows RT does not support running IA-32 or x64 applications"

Refer to the "Software compatibility" section of the Wikipedia article:
