I have had only one issue with 8.0 so far and that was after installing openvpn. It jacked the registry so I could not delete or modify nic devices correctly, something like that. I did an inplace reinstall and have been fine ever since. I do wish they could quite putting the banner on my screen to update to 8.1 though. If I can download the media I might do it, but I don’t want to get involved with their store.
