Should I Install Kaspersky On Windows 8?

Hello
Just upgraded all my machines to Windows 8, I did have the developer preview installed for a while on an old machine at the time Kaspersky would not work with it so I just left it to run with the supplied Windows Security Essentials, all seemed well I dod not have any issues with any virus's or spyware.
Now I have upgraded Kaspersky will work with the retail release but I am questioning myself as to whether it is actually need or not?
What are your thoughts? Any comments on Windows Security Essentials? Is it wise to just run this an d nothing else?
Thanks in advance

KIS is better IMHO, as long as you don't have to pay for it (free with Barclays online banking).
You must have one AV program or the other. Never both, or they will conflict.No free lunch, and no free laptop
