So do I really need the $200 version of Windows 8?

Ryan was talking about how easy it is to get around it, I'm wondering if someone can further explain how. It's not like I'm even bullshitting MS... I already have like three Windows 7 computers at home, plus a student discount version of full windows 7 that I bought for my 2009 custom tower. I just don't have the email address at school I used then, the pc long since fried, but I salvaged the hard drive. I'd like to put Win 8 on parallels on my iMac. Is there a good workaround so ill only need the $40 edition?

200 dollars? The non-discount version is $70. So even if you can't figure out how to get it for $40 you should only be paying $70.

EDIT: Literally just go to this link. It explains how the 40 dollars upgrade works, and if everything you say is true then it shouldn't be harder then clicking two buttons.
