Hi,
If you were one of the lucky ones who got a new machine for the holidays and it came with a shiny new copy of Windows 8, not to fear. PTC has you covered. The latest maintenance release of Creo 2.0 is M030 and it is fully supported on Windows 8. Stop by http://www.ptc.com/company/community/first/teams.htm to download new software.
If you're not sure which maintenance version you have, it is easy to check. Just start Creo 2.0 and pick File, Help, About Creo Parametric.
All FIRST teams should be on Creo 2.0 at this point. You can continue to use the Creo Elements/Pro software if you have an older machine, but you should be able to run Creo 2.0 on the same hardware. The big benefit of updating to Creo 2.0 is the new UI and command layout making the application so much easier to use.
Hopefully you've all had a chance to download the updated KOP and Arena for Ultimate Ascent at http://www.catalogds.com/db/service?d=first&c=browse
