The text from the page:
Windows 8 Release Preview Setup will check to see if your PC can run Windows 8 Release Preview and select the right download. Setup also features a compatibility report and upgrade assistance. Make sure your devices are connected to your PC and turned on before you run Setup. Built-in tools for creating an ISO or bootable flash drive are available for some previous versions of Windows (excluding Windows XP and earlier). You can find system requirements and additional information in the FAQ and in the links on this page.

ISO images
An ISO
image must be converted into installation media stored on a DVD or a USB
flash drive. Instructions are provided on this page. Developer tools
are available for download from Windows Dev Center.
Important: If
you decide to go back to your previous operating system, you’ll need to
reinstall it from the recovery or installation media that came with
your PC, which is typically DVD media.
If you
don’t have recovery media, you might be able to create it from a
recovery partition on your PC using software provided by your PC
manufacturer. Check the support section of your PC manufacturer’s
website for more information.
After you
install Windows 8, you won’t be able to use the recovery partition on
your PC to go back to your previous version of Windows.
