I made sure to fully update Windows 7 before upgrading. In my case I installed Windows 7 first and then upgraded to Windows 8. That is a mistake in my opinion because I would have bought another MacBook perhaps in a year or two but I won't if I think Apple is trying to force customers to upgrade early unnecessairly. If Apple is not supporting Windows 8 in the hope that people will just buy new MacBooks more frequently I think it will backfire on them because that shows they don't care about thier customers. I also own a 17' MacBook Pro 2011 and a myriad of other Apple products and to me it is important that my laptop is able to run Windows even though I use the OS side more frequently. I had been waiting for Apple to issue properly supported drivers just because I like to ensure I keep everything as up to date and compatable as possible and I am rather annoyed that Apple isn't supporting this model but at least you can get it working. I am not 100% certain that the trackpad gestures all work, however, most of them seem to, I was able to adjust the clicks to my preference and scrolling up and down and sideways works. I have been running Windows 8 on the same model (MacBook Pro 13' (mid 2010) for about a month and haven't experienced any issues with it so far.
