Windows 8 on a Macbook Air

Hard at work on my MacBook Air, or is that a WinBook?

As a consultant my laptop is my key tool of trade so it is important for me to keep it up to date and functioning at its peak.  A year or so ago I switched from a large and powerful  Windows laptop to the MacBook Air running Windows 7 on Boot camp.  To be honest I have not noticed what was theoretically a big drop in computing power.  As I live in Windows world and had not touched OSX in the past year I decided that I could happily wipe it.  I can always recover it again if I end up selling the Mac later on.
