For the set of old apps Windows 8 is the same as Windows 7, I was able to install without any problem, SAP GUI 7.20, TrendMicro antivirus. There is embeded Windows Defender in Windows 8, but it has to be switched off to let Trend to run.
The magic is unlocked when you have real "METRO" app in hand. Then Windows 8 (with WinRT) will shine differently. As you know, WinRT gives an asyncronous framework for fluid interface, it is more secure, as it run apps in isolated enviroment where not all user right are immediately given to an app, etc, etc.

As explained above, I see no reasons to jump to W8, however, the story of the server 2012 is different - I recommend to upgrade, as there are zillions of features that you will benefit from, starting from licensing, finishing with Hyper-v 3 and Switch virtualization
