Window 8 is stable in gaming.
I play allot of GTA 4. My Windows 7 on multi PC's would crash to desktop, & you would have to click on icon in task bar to get back in to game. Have not seen this problem in Windows 8 Pro yet. Pop Cap games have trouble with the old games before Plant Vs. Zombies. Great web browsing in desktop mode. Have not tried start menu mode yet. Works for me with FX8350, R7970, 16GB 1600MHz memory, & M5A78L-M LX PLUS motherboard with Samsun 840 Pro SSD & 3TB Toshiba HDD. Very Fast.

Win 8 + Classic Shell
Pros: speedy startup, win8 best supports my Asus G75vx due to win7 lacking supporting drivers, uses less resources compared to Win 7. Cons: Metro UI on non touching desktops. Fix: If you hate the Metro UI that win8 provided and the fact it took away the start menu, go download a free open source program called classic shell and it should give you back the start menu and disable the metro style ui from starting up; of course you can still use the Metro UI but you have to manually access it. Other problems I had personally: Do not pick eco shipping option; it's a ups surepost which is ups delivering it to usps who in my area are really terrible delivering carriers. Do not pick that option if you want to delivery your package because it takes more than 2 weeks to deliver to your door and in my case, I had to go pick it up at the usps office after they fail to deliver it another day they didn't have my package on the day I was suppose to pick it up.

Love it!
Very different, but once you get used to the start screen being, basically, a greatly expanded start menu it all starts making more sense. The system is snappy! Love how fast everything loads. With my system, it takes twenty seconds from turned off to entering in the user password.
