I'm running Win8 on my spare Dual Xeon machine with a Wacom Cintiq as the ONLY screen/input. Had surprisingly few problems with it, compatibility wise. Even all the side shortcuts work fine under Win8 and are really handy for getting back to the Metro interface.

the only thing i did was change HDD. i am using a crucial m4 128GB SSD for this preview

Obviously the hard disk was the bottleneck pre-Windows 8 and so these numbers are pretty useless. You're comparing different OSes, different boot drives.
