The "behind the scenes" improvements are real but subtle. The most substantial improvement I have seen in benchmarks is an increase in hard drive access speed, i.e. most programs (except those from Adobe) load faster.

I have noticed no difference whatever in recording. I don't do games, so I can't speculate about that. Stability is MOST important in a DAW, and Windows 7 is better.
