You can install OS X and Windows on a Fusion Drive, but Windows won't work as fast as OS X. This is caused because OS X is saved in the SSD part of Fusion Drive and Windows is installer in the HDD part of Fusion Drive.
First, check if you need Windows on Boot Camp or a virtual machine > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 I recommend you to use a virtual machine with applications like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, because it's easier to install Windows.
If you need Boot Camp, follow Apple steps carefully to install Windows on Fusion Drive > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf

Ok thanks a lot. The instructions was very clear. Just a last question. Do you know how big is the video memory of the new base model of iMac 21.5 with iris pro graphics?
The Intel Iris Pro graphic card has got 1 GB of memory in both 21'5-inch iMacs and 15-inch MacBooks Pro with Retina display
Intel Iris Pro Graphics
Apple computers using Intel Iris Pro Graphics as the primary GPU dynamically allocates up to 1 GB of system memory.

Thanks a lot both of you.
You are welcome
Though this is a slow DDR3 memory not a fast GDDR5 for 3d graphics
