Got new personal Windows 8 laptop. Looks like we need to learn a lot to get familiar using Windows o/s.  
Googling helped a lot - Credit goes to the following link
I have Cisco VPN 5.0.07.0440 for x64 running without any issues on Windows 7
I used the Followed steps to install and use it on Windows 8.
1) During Installation -> Right Click and check Compatibility to Windows 7
2) After installation imported the PCF file
3) Backup registry
4) Browse to the Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\CVirtA
Select the DisplayName to modify, and remove the leading characters from the value data upto "%;" i.e.
"@oem8.inf,%CVirtA_Desc%;Cisco Systems VPN Adapter for 64-bit 
Windows” to "Cisco Systems VPN Adapter
 for 64-bit Windows”
5) Test Connectivity
  
If you have 32 bit use the following
One more Note - to get start menu on Windows 8 then use Power 8
