One of the things that I found in the latest Microsoft blog post regarding the system requirements for Windows 8 is that users who wish to run Metro-style apps will need a minimum screen resolution of 1024x768.
In addition, if you plan to use the snap feature you will need a minimum resolution of 1366x768. If you attempt to run a metro app in a resolution less than the recommendation, you will receive an error message.
The reason for this limitations stems from app scaling that occurs when different screen resolutions are used and to ensure that developers can build applications that scale to different resolutions.
So if you are used to running Windows at an 800x600 screen resolution or something less than 1024x768 you will have to change the screen resolution or upgrade your monitor in order to use Metro style applications.
If you don't care for Metro style applications and wish to use Windows 8, you will be able to use it at a minimum screen resolution of 800x600.
