I am just about to buy Windows 8 Pro to install under Parallels 7. I really dont want to have to buy Parallels 8 as Mountain Lion and Windows 7 is running fine for me. I have seen one youtube vid of W8 being installed on Parallels 7 so I should be OK? I am going to instal Win8 new not install over Win 7.
Unfortunately useless... for now ! @amnesia, I upgraded my Windows to 8 in Parallels 7 this week and... no network, no sound... (iMac I5, 2.7G) The preview version work fine but not the real version (W8 PRO) I hope they will publish a solution or a patch soon... Regards, David
