    I have been messing around with W8 but not on my gaming comp. Personally I wouldn't install W8 on a machine that you're going to use for gaming. Especially with the wonkiness of things such as Origin and Battlelog. There also wouldn't be any real benefit to your gaming of running W8.

    If you only have one machine to sample on, maybe just setup a dual boot scenario so you can boot W7 and W8.
