[GIS] Will ArcGIS 10 run on Windows 8

arcgis-10.0arcgis-desktopsystem requirementswindows 8

I have access to ArcGIS 10 through university, however my laptop runs Windows 8. I have checked the requirements and they have listed the previous operating systems (excluding 8)

http://resources.arcgis.com/content/arcgisdesktop/10.0/arcgis-desktop-system-requirements

Will it run? If not, are there any ways round this (other than buying Arc 10.1 or installing an older operating system)?
