I am having a lot of trouble finding out where it said that windows 8 was supported right now, but I remember seeing that it was supported.
Who ever told you that you needed to switch back is not right. You do not have to run it on windows xp/7 there is no requirement.
If it was people relaying information saying that your computer was not working with the FMS then that is a different issue.
EDIT Found this taken from the FRC Blog:

2014 Operating System Support
The Control System software we’re releasing for the 2014 season has been tested and will be officially supported on Windows 7 and Windows 8. The software has not been certified to work on Windows XP. This doesn’t mean it won’t work, just that we can’t guarantee it, and we won’t be able to provide anything beyond cursory support if you decide to use it.
