Is the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro the right choice for my needs?

10.8.3 (just released) now has drivers to run Windows 8!

How are the drivers? How is battery life with the update under Windows 8? Does it support all multi-touch gestures?

Has multi-touch, but not as good as OSX (obviously). It can two two-finger scroll, things like that...I don't personally like Windows 8, so you'll have to ask someone who has made a Bootcamp 8 Partition already.

I understand that multi-touch gestures are not in the same level as those found in OS X. But I would like to know if all Windows 8 gestures are supported, just like in a regular Windows multi-touch laptop.

In addition, I would like to know how is battery life and boot times in Windows 8 under BootCamp with these new drivers.

what do you mean by all gestures? there is basically scrolling and scrolling by default, whatever the other additions are they are based on what the touchpad can provide

There is pinch to zoom and rotate, for example. I guess the list is here: http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-8-tip-use-trackpad-multi-touch-gestures
