Not a user of surround - but after about 2 months on Windows 8 I went back to 7 as well. (made an acronis image if I ever want to try again)
Similar issue though with video drivers - my MSI 7970 is a pretty badass card, confirmed stable @ 1200Mhz no recent release of AMD drivers gives me full use of the card without issue.
Anything after 12.8 causes screen tearing at the windows desktop. If I'm on Windows8 throw in random reboots and video crashes on top of that (this is with a fresh install) Tried all different versions, different cables, different everything. Looks like both AMD and Nvidia have issues with drivers in Win8 (I'd say AMD is worse though historically speaking)
Win8 was "okay" - I only used it because I got a free license. (legal as well) The metro interface sucks ass, but the task manager and the new copy/paste system is quite cool. Too bad the shit crashes or suffers from graphical glitches.
I'll probably tinker with it in a month or two again -- I enjoy that kind of crap every now and then.
