For the purposes of drivers and such, Windows 8 is basically identical to Windows 7. The guest additions should be modified to work on Windows version 6.2 (the actual version of Windows 8) in addition to the 6.1 version (7).

You can install them if you use compatibility mode. But they don't work :(

Should be fixed in some 4.1.x release after 4.1.2.
