I don't want to start a discussion here, but I'd like to mention that Techstream needs Win XP which I run in a virtual machine.
That way, I can be almost a 100% sure that even if there was malware inside it would not hurt my host computer ;)
It has worked well for me up to now with my XP9 and a P1.
However, do not expect it to work with cars from other manufacturers.

It won't help you at all, but if someone ist curious: EOBD works with the ELM327-clones

It will actually run on Windows 7 and Windows 8 as well. I am most recently using it on an Acer W3, which is an 8 inch Windows 8 tablet. Drew Technologies, which makes the authentic VCI, has drivers that work for Win 7 and 8.
