Actually...

The link takes you to a Windows 8 site, but the $40 is for an upgrade.

If your MAC does not have Windows on it, the usual cost is in the low $100.

You should have no issue then, Mike. I am not a Windows 8 fan but I did install Office 2010 on a Win 8 PC recently and all was well. someone else said Win 8 avail from MS for 40 so that sounds like a good deal as long as Parallels works with 8. You can install the OS via download from MS and Office via your drive. So Parallels, Windows OS, Office install in that sequence. Win 8 includes Windows Defender so you will not need to get another VP for your Windows install.

Have fun!

Once I've installed those I then install the Office 2010. And I can install them via the external DVD drive I've just bought.
