I'm confused. Is Skitch for windows not coming to Win 7 and maybe XP? Only Win 8?

Oh...I hope not.

At work, there is no chance that we will go to Win8 in the near future. We are firmly embedded with Win7. And I have no particular desire to upgrade from Win7 at home...I really like it.

If there is no Win7 compatible version of Skitch coming, I will be crushed.

I agree, not developing for Win7 is a bad idea, I work for an IT-company who's customers are at this moment moving from XP to Win7. There is no way they wil be moving to Windows 8 anytime soon! Even I as an experienced Windows user won't move to Windows 8 for at least a couple of years, it may very well be that I (and our customers) will skip Windows 8 and wait for the next version!

Bound by Windows myself. Until the developers take enough pity on us stuck in the Windows world (not taking part in Windows 8 debug-fest), you might consider Jing: www.techsmith.com/Jing

Hope this helps!

+1. Please, make a Win7 version of Skitch too.

Skitch should be part of Evertnote in first place. I've wrote on these forums as suggestion to have tool to do exactly what Skitch (or OneNote) do.

+1 for Windows 7.

Work isn't moving to Windows 8 anytime soon (especially with the reviews we've been reading). I guess I'm stuck with Fast Stone Capture for awhile

I hope companies aren't going to rely on other people reviews, if they would actually go in and give it a real test they will see the benefits greatly outweigh the disadvantages.
Yes Windows 8 is different, but it is also ALOT faster in all respects. Users just need to try it for a few days to get used to the new way of working.

Anyway, I didn't come here to talk about Windows 8, I was just wondering how you make screenshots with the Metro version of skitch? Like you do on the Mac version... or is this something that is yet to come?

I know Window's 8 will be coming out in less than a month at this point but Win 7 is still the current Window's OS and not haveing Skitch on my system really makes me think about going back to MS OneNote not what I want to do

[Jeff510]

Yeah, I have no intention of upgrading to Windows 8...I hate to be left behind. A regular Windows app for the desktop will be compatible now and going forward. A "Metro" app is not backward compatible and excludes a large part of the user base.

+1 for windows 7 version.

I've been on windows 8 for a few months now and am actually going back to 7. A friend of mine is also about to switch back. I think windows 8 will be similar to Vista in that it will get traction through pre-installed systems - but many will choose to downgrade to windows 7 (as they did to xp from Vista). It doesn't make much sense to have the full metro UI and only use the 'Desktop' mode (which I was doing because most metro apps suck).

For those on WIndows 7, yo ucan activate the tablet functions even without tablet hardware. This gives you the MSFT snipping tool, which will do screen shots that you can annotate. Built into the OS of windows and works incredibly well.

I have no idea what this means. Are you saying just use the Win 7 snipping tool? Because that's nothing like Skitch.

Well I am new to this forum...but was determined to voice my support for the need to have a Win 7 version...as has been mentioned...Evernote is missing a huge proportion of users as a result.
Some of us "older" users, like the larger screen and keypads, ( even though we have an iPhone)....

Surely opting for the common denominator Win 7 or even XP is a better PR and makes sense over the Win 8 that most will steer clear of for some time...... Come On Guys....get your act together.....the year is almost over and we are all still waiting....frustrated and grumpy !!!

How about a update on progress????

We don't release timelines or roadmaps. Getting a product out on multiple platforms is quite a feat, especially since we rewrite it each time. That being said, we've read all your comments and thanks for posting.

Skitch on Windows 8 is fine. Unfortunately, Windows 8 on a non-touchscreen device (especially a desktop) is highly irritating. I've been using it on a few machines for about a month now, and my frustration levels have not decreased with time.

That must be a private beta or some sort. It says I don't have permission to view the destination page.

OK, now you're just toying with us! That is a private thread gvalverde just linked to.

Most corporate users will not be able to move past Windows 7 for a long time after a stable (well it's windows so let's say somewhat stable) next version is released.
