Hi there
vmware workstation 9 plus the relevant version of vmware player work fine for creating W8 VM's --I've tested running a Virtual W8 Enterprise x-64 (from Technet) on a W7 X-64 Host -- working fine.
I'm running it now on a Linux openSUSE 12.2 HOST and it's also working fine. The VM will run either on Linux or Windows hosts without change.
Agreed for gaming etc a VM might not be sufficient but for a lot of other stuff including Multi media the latest version of vmware works fine on Windows 7 / 8 (and also on openSUSE 12.2 KDE desktop)
cheers
