Great deal. For $25 + shipping you get a Windows 8 Professional license, Parallels 8, and a USB stick. Just change the "disabled" attribute on the order button, and you're all set.

Just do us a favor and don't paste this on any deal sites, or Microsoft will make us turn this off. Only for developers!

Looks like swish is a little bogged down at the moment. My connection attempts are timing out :)

Indeed, same here. It does seem like it would be a popular offer.

This sounds great.

Parallels + pirated windows 8 isn't too hard to set up, but for any billable rate, $25 is a good deal.

Does this mean you need to be a registered Apple Developer (with the ID and all the jazz..)? I can't get to the site to check, it keeps timing out.

Every time I submit the order I just get a javascript alert with "something went wrong :(" No idea if the order went through or not...

Edit: Got an order confirmation via email. However, I really think when you are dealing with payments you should implement a more detailed explanation than a javascript alert of "something went wrong"
