I just upgraded from Win7 Ultimate x64 to Win8 Pro x64 yesterday.

Having first backed up my Win7 system partition, I decided to install Win8 over Win7.

The Win8 Installer first checks your (Win7) system and prompts you to uninstall stuff that won't be compatible: I had 3 utilities to remove, nothing major.

Then the install process begins: it took over 2 hours for my system, but I have to say when I finally got to log in to my new OS, everything was where it should have been and everything worked. The upgrade didn't break anything. The only thing I had to do was to re-profile my monitors (this won't be an issue for most).

Windows 8 has shaved 2 minutes off my previously 5 minute startup time. Generally, everything seems to be quite brisk. It seems to make no difference to Poser (Pro 2012).

The 'Metro' bits aren't particularly intrusive; the biggest change is that the 'Start' button doesn't do what it used to, which took me about 5 minutes to get used to.

I'd find yourself a decent special offer and upgrade.
