not completely true as people are reporting Windows 8 is a performance increase.

Windows 8 does seem to provide a general performance increase, especially where boot up times are concerned but it also seems to drop performance in other areas such as gaming. It depends on what you are using it for.
 
I've seen Windows 8 show very marginal improvements in performance, and very marginal decreases in performance. I would say there isn't much in it. Also no one boot's their pc as a hobby so I don't think that is an important test.

Windows 8 seems better for low end systems. The loss in gaming is likely to be between 0 and 5 FPS not really a deal breaker.

Only thing I dislike about Windows 8 is the desktop but with some customization I bet it can be nice.
