I dual boot for a few reasons. I run a construction business on my 7 side. I started with Release Preview last early June, then Enterprise Evaluation, and then my final OEM 8 Pro Edition just after the Holidays. I'm still using Office 2000 Pro on my 7 side. It won't load into 8. I need to upgrade that and rightfully so, but I'm retiring soon and haven't come to a complete decision on that yet. I don't trust new OSs until they get the bugs worked out, although 8 has been good that way and was/is quite stable and quick. It also gave me time to learn 8 while using 7 for business. There is a slight more learning curve to 8 because of the new UI, Modern/Metro Store apps, touch-centricity (it works well with mouse & keyboard), and overall changes.
Good luck to you whatever you decide.
