I've been running Windows 8 with X5 since X5 was released. I have been running it on a Acer Iconia W500 Tablet. It works great, no issues that I have noticed. The new Microsoft Surface Pro tablet that is coming out in January will probably run Chief even better than the Tablet I'm using. Windows 8 is a great OS. It's basically a better version of win 7. It runs smoother and requires lesser hardware to run well than Win 7 does. Any program that can run on Win 7 should run just fine on Win 8. I've been using the beta versions of Win 8 and I really like it. Win 8 will take some getting used to for the majority of PC users but the features it has are excellent. Win 8 has a lot of really great built in apps. Personally, I like the new UI I think it's intuitive but will just take some getting used to. To me it would be a no brainer to upgrade to a new and better OS for $39.99.
