Hmmm. I was dissappointed moving from XP to 7. Everyone said that 7 was great out of the box for audio. First I noticed higher latency and other issues with my interface driver. Next I noticed a serious aliasing issue in 7's audio. These days, my machine is doing ok for audio after some patches and updates (not as well as XP). I really wish that microsoft would give windows a high performance mode for special use cases such as audio, gaming, etc., in which services and drivers could be selectively marked for being disabled, and switching between the special use mode and normal mode is done via a simple switch. Any way, I took a look at 8, and I passed. It seems like 8 is another guinea pig version (every other version, right?).
Off topic: The surface looks like a cool machine, but it is way too damn small. I would like to see a fullsize laptop with the same sort of configuration and capabilities, but without some of the yuck of windows 8/8.1 such as the live tiles crap. And of course, it would be nice to KNOW that there isn't a backdoor.
