Sounds good considering DAZ screwed up major going from 8.1.1.8 to 8.1.1.12. I have several issues opening 8.1.1.8 scenes in 8.1.1.12. Mainly many shaders will go to a null sampling setting. Fun stuff when you have 80 shaders to reset.

It also changed what setting you use to make parts of an object invisable; of corse that is after you reset carrara to run in compatability mode for W7 on W8. Till you do that the setting doesn't work at all. So yes, there are minor compatability isues with the last versuion of C8.1 on windows 8.

But you know this wont happen. C8.5 wont get an update ether. And the lengthy development time had nothing to do with how deep DAZ worked on C8.5 and everything to do with DAZ's way understaffed development team; not sure you can actually call 1 guy a team though. If DAZ still even has any development staff.
