Windows 8 is faster than Windows 7. It uses less computer resources and even older computers can run it smoothly. Tested it on old Pentium 3 computer with 64MB of RAM - worked as a charm and better than Windows 7 on my laptop that's much more powerful.
But still best way probably would be to make it a second OS in dual boot system because there are some known bugs that still need to be fixed.

While it's true that it is faster, it's an OS that was made for tablets and not full fledged PCs. Yeah, yeah we can install start up bars but it's not the same overall.
Just my opinion, by the way, I use both OS's plus Linux.

Saying Windows 8 is designed for tablets is like saying Windows 7 is designed for tablets
probably the most ignorant thing you can say that is computer-related.

Stop claiming Windows RT is Windows 8. There is a huge difference.

I heard of Sleeping Dogs which can be played only on medium,radeon hd 6xxx series lower performance and sometimes driver problems.I have a
3 month Enterprise evaluation so it should be enough time to test it with many games without wasting money.I'm only waiting for the moment
when my hdd will have almost no free space,or some big system problem(which is kinda unpossible because i have Windows 7 installed for over 3 years and I had no big problems at all).The only question is, will motherboard drivers from Windows 7 work for Windows 8?(I have ASUS P5KPL-AM IN/ROEM/SI)

Win 8 has a better native support for hardware (at least my impression from using the preview), I think you won't have any problems.
