Windows 8 Consumer Preview on BootCamp

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if Windows 8 Consumer Preview will work with BootCamp on the iMac. I really wanna take a look at Windows 8 but I am worried that BootCamp will not work with it.

no idea about Bootcamp but why not just run it in a virtual machine? It'll probably run a bit slower depending on what specs your Mac has but it'll at least let you try WIn 8 safely and its easy to remove if you don't like it. Virtual Box is free and runs on a Mac or you can get a free 30day trial of Parallels Workstation or VMware Fusion.
