again, someone reported that the cygwin version of octave
is working on win 8

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Windows-8-tt4645911.html#a4647236

This  means Marcio you need to install octave with
the cygwin setup downloaded from www.cygwin.com

As the grahics system is based on X, I suggest to install also
"xinit" that will pull the installation of the X system
