I've used the ATB for quite some time. As for getting it to work on Windows 8, I've never tried. It should be similar to Windows 7... I would think.

Getting the ATB to work on Windows 8 should be similar to Windows 7.... <continued> Except, as it turns out, Windows 8 by default requires Driver Signature Verification before it will install a driver and the ATB dongle drivers aren't signed. Therefore Win8 won't install the dongle drivers without help. Help is available to install the ATB Dongle drivers in Windows 8 and 8.1:

These next two clearly (with screenshots) show how to disable the forced driver verification in Windows8 but don't explain the actual dongle install.
For Windows 8.1
