Unless you specifically see in the Change Log thread that Windows 8 support is added to the latest 7.0.x series, there's no need to test.

The developer responsible for the Windows BOINC versions has only just installed a Windows 8 preview version on his system and was about to go test with it, when more important problems and bug fixes stuck up their head. And be honest, Windows 8 isn't released yet, or going to be released imminently, so it doesn't really matter if it's fixed tomorrow or next week.

BOINC 7.0 will eventually have Windows 8 support.
