Well, this is a pretty thorough test that finds no performance gain at all (Win 8 a tiny bit slower in most tests):

So "stellar" seems a bit like wishful thinking? You're sure you don't work at m$? Which game did you try that was "stellar"? Share some benchmarks as it sounds interesting.

EDIT: And yes, I have an MSDN Premium subscription and have been running Windows 8 since the first consumer preview - and I can't say I like it much (but a tablet with it would be interesting)...
