So i finally installed c-RPG on my Win8 pro and i would like to share the experience with you guys, so you'll have a clearer picture of what it's like.
First of all, i would like to tell you about advantages of Win8 over Win7:
The first thing that comes into mind is the new improved memory usage. It's just much more clean and less greedy 
Better drivers support, of-course and SPEED!
On my Win7 ultimate i would click on the visual studio 2012 icon and go make a coffee.. for everybody... But not on win8! It fires up MS software about 5 times faster and I am not exaggerating!
But, as it's usual with MS along with the good stuff comes the shit... You would sometimes disconnect from the internet for no particular reason and need to restart the PC :/ Sometimes disconnecting LAN cable might work, but most of the time it won't. And there's this Metro UI... God damn it! It turns your PC into a weird Android device with about the same functionality (colorful buttons, internet and calculator).
Also in the final release it's nos so easy to turn it off as it was on customer/developer preview version.
Now for the cRPG part:
While playing on maximum settings (no v. sync), on win7 i would sometimes get those annoying freezes and my fps would drop down to 30 :/ On win8 I dont get that as often, the minimum fps i got so far was 90, which makes a HUGE difference. In terms of MP I get much less lag and hit-through-block, then i would get on win7, but sometime i teleport for like 10 feet or so. So i can't really tell you that in this term it's that much better.
So, I'm not really sure whether I'll switch completely to win8 yet, but if you get the chance to try it out for free, i suggest you do it, just for the fun of it. As for myself, I wouldn't buy it. I got it for free via MSDN subscription (along with a lot of other software 
)
I'll also try c-RPG on Ubuntu 12.10 when it comes out, so stay tuned
I have worked on windows 8 on my laptop since 4 months (starting with the RC and switching to the RTM). It's just faster and lighter than windows 7 with some cools feature like the copy&pasta pause/graphic.
I've also noticed a huge difference in term of boot speed between the RC (post beta) and RTM (now), considering the RC was already faster than Windows 7 ^^.
But you shouldn't take VS 2012 for example cause it wasn't build to run on Windows 7 and it's laggy as hell on it =x.
I'm happy to hear games run well on it, i haven't tested yet. I think i will switch to Win8 on my "gamer" computer as well.
