Q: Boot Camp on iMac Retina 5K?
I think that Apple states that Windows may be installed on the Retina 5K, but will there be a problem with drivers?
More importantly, will Windows drivers be in conflict with Apple's proprietary Timing Controller they've announced for this computer?

I received a 5k retina iMac today and immediately setup Windows 8.1 using the built in Bootcamp process. NO snags installing, NO driver/exclamation marks, NO lockups. Audio, Bluetooth (kb/mouse) and Network (wired/wireless) works in Win 8.1.
BOTH operating systems have the same HUGE (for me!) issue. **No 5k resolution option, so I cannot maximize the real estate**
OSX:
Windows: Allows for a native resolution setting of 4k 3840x2160.
Updating the ATI catalyst software pack from the version shipped to the latest October beta had no effect.
