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.

Does anyone know if this copy will work in VirtualBox on Linux as well?

Edit: nvm, it's all sold out

This is what i got after forcing the jsonp callback: "Product sold out! Thanks for shopping."

It said Sold Out for me as well 10 mins ago, but I retried again and it worked :) #paystonotgiveuptoosoon

We upped the number available by 10% after it sold out, but then it sold out again in a few minutes. It's sold out for good now, I promise.

Well I guess that means I'll give up on trying and get back to work.

Me, too, making iOS apps. And continuing to wonder if Windows 8 is really a turd for development.

Probably not the effect MS wanted here.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Will these kits be sold anywhere else? It's a bit of a shame for those of us that just got a bunch of timeouts before it was sold out completely.
