At this time, I only tested with ubuntu 14.04 / ROS Indigo. See the post
rtabmap for kinect v2 on ROS Indigo.
On Windows 8, it seems to be possible as in the post
Using Kinect for Windows v2. I should get a Windows 8 machine with USB 3.0 soon, I could look how to do it with the
Kinect for Windows SDK 2.0.
