Downloading my copy now.

After some testing I noticed my FPS was down by about 20% in GW2 over Win7 though. I will likely give it another month before moving over to it.

It may take several months post release for performance gains. It's understandable that performance may not be on par at the moment.

I hope there will be some significant performance increases from 7 to 8, since Microsoft promised they would have a core focus on gaming for this OS. I haven't seen anything focused on gaming as of yet.
