I'm not seeing it, for most machines.
At the time I tried it, I had a Slate 500 (HP). The best part was the faster boot time, and the lighter weight of the OS. ...but that was Developer Preview (read: plenty of time to bloat). fwiw, more recently I picked up a Dell XT2 (convertable tablet w/ pen) from one of the MSFT developers. It had dual boot 8 Consumer Preview on a separate partition. -I deleted it. Reason being, I really like one app (Evernote RitePen) which doesn't play well with Win8. ...IOW, if there is any compelling reason to move up from 7, I'm not seeing it.
....but then, I also still have/use my little Win XP Samsung SSD 7" tablet from back, years before Apple invented the tablet computer.
--if it works, it works. ...don't fix it if it ain't broken.
