In Windows 8, how do I keep a window above other windows, like the "Always On Top" option on many Linux desktops?

DeskPins works in Windows 7, but not Windows 8. Is there software for Windows 8 that provides "Always On Top" functionality?

In the question you link to, there's an answer that suggests using an Autohotkey script: 

The program is written in Autohotkey with a single line of code:

^SPACE::  Winset, Alwaysontop, , A

I can personally recommend this script as I've used it daily for years. Simply run it and press Ctrl+Space to toggle whether the window is always on top or not.

Plus it's really light on resources.
