Default install on x86 mac

is it possible to install vista on an intel running mac? more specifically
20" iMac - i'm looking to get one, but am also interested in trying this beta
out and if i can run it on an iMac then that's even better. (or i'll have to
upgrade one of the computers in my house :-p thanks ^_^

Its not guaranteed to work, I suspect Boot Camp does not support it yet, you
just have to give it a try. I suspect the changes to the boot loader will
prevent this from happening. Check http://www.osx86project.org for
assistance.
