It works fine on win7, which isn't too different from win8 or vista. Have you seen any reports where it failed? It generally fails gracefully and doesn't do any harm.

Idkk apparently it needs framework 2.5 but windows 8 has 4.5

What ROM/version is he running? Superoneclick won't work on higher version (ICS/JB) if I remember correctly.

That being said, if you want to root a 2.1-2.2 version, you can simply flash Speedmod kernel through recovery. 2.3 (GB) would need Corn kernel with Odin 1.85

Superoneclick will work on older OS with GB.

But like I mentioned earlier, you can flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 to gain root on GB. Once it's flashed, boot into recovery, under advanced, you'll be able to root.

Hence when I said on ''older OS''. OS = Operating System = Windows in this case.

Flash Corn kernel and you'll get the root. Don't need superoneclick.

Could be confusing indeed, my bad.
