I only have a Mac mini but what version of Windows are you trying to install? Bootcamp 4 (Lion / Mountain Lion) is not yet supporting Windows 8.

funny that - they have tested same CPU environments and the Apple actually runs windows (slightly) faster....

its all about drivers and attention to details. theres an odd irony that windows runs better on a mac, and office works better on osx...
