ppl say that w8 allows to use one GPU more than w7.
Though I'm running w7(w2k8 r2 +Catalyst 12.6 to be exact) with 6GPUs with no issues.

I don't think there is much of a difference between windows 7 and windows 8, the drivers are almost the same. I have not noticed any difference in mining when i upgraded to windows 8. Just make sure that you mining tool (application) works correctly on windows 8.

I suggest Windows 8, because it better use computer hardware and is faster and more efficient.
