I did a similar "switch" where I kept my macbook/retina display laptop hardware but switched to Windows 8 for the OS.

It's been a good experience except for one thing: Apple delivers no drivers for the integrated video, disables it in EFI from Bootcamp, so it runs hot and has a short battery life when not in OS X. I haven't seen anyone reporting success working around this problem, and it's been going on for years for us "switchers" to Windows.

that is strange, as other macbooks that only have an iGPU work fine on windows 8.
