I use Win8.1, and the only difference from Win7 is that my boot times are faster. I run old and new games, emulators, office software, Autodesk software, and some programming tools, and I have yet to run into compatibility issues. I use a keyboard and mouse and have no problems with a lack of optimization. I don't use any Metro apps, but I never have to see the UI either. I've found that the new Start Screen is easier to use than the Start Menu though.
If there's a specific software suite you're concerned about, you can look up the compatibility with Win8. In my experience, everything has been pretty seamless.

Unless someone here has a lot of experience, you're better off searching for technical analysis from guys like Anandtech and Tom's Hardware.
