Windows 8 Juniper & Windows 8

[WackWack]

Has anybody been able to get Juniper VPN software to function properly on WIN8? Windows 8 is starting to pop up in our BYOC program and we've encountered some issues getting these users connected to the internal network. Just wondering if there has been any known workarounds while Juniper updates their software to be fully compatible with WIN8.
