I decided to roll the dice and bought one of those Monoprice 10x6 
tablets for $54 bucks so I would be curious to see if it would work in 
Windows 8.

     As an aside the monoprice isn't too shabby, the last Wacom I've 
owned was an Art Z II 6x8 (256 pressure levels if I remember correctly). 
For around $60 it's been a fun tool, once I get a bit freer on the 
schedule I plan on working out some of the rust in my illustrative 
joints and see what I can do :).
