[Zecke]

The question is, if WITP run with Windows 8 optimally, because i bought i knew PC- and cames with Windows 8, and i want to buy another WITP, if it Works fine in Windows 8, because at the store purchase stops at window 7, so no WITP for Windows 8?

No WitP does NOT run optimally with Windows 8. You will have horrible mouse lag when trying to move the map or selecting anything. Unfortunately you will need to run it in windowed mode by adding a -w in the target line of a shortcut made from the game executable. Not the launcher window. You can run it in windowed mode and the mouse will work just fine.

WITP:AE has a work around to run full screen. Check there for details.

I'm still searching for a possible work around for WitP and UV, but so far the only one that works is -w to run in windowed mode.
