I have a Mac and want to install Windows 8 via BootCamp on it as well. I signed up on microsoft.at and now I'm facing two questions.

First off. The product says "Windows 8 Upgrade". What does that mean? That I already need to have a license for a previous version? http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/mseea/de_AT/pdp/productID.275219500

I simply want to buy a Windows 8 license (a serial key) and want to download the installation file, so I can run it with BootCamp.

My second question is about the language. Since I'm from Austria I can only purchase via the austrian Microsoft site. The product says "Productlanguage" is german. I wonder if I purchase this Windows 8 package if I'm able to install Windows in english.

I need an english version of Windows 8.

Windows 8 Upgrade: you need to have a previous Windows OS license.

In your case you need a Windows 8 OEM license. You can not buy this online. You should turn to resellers. (Find resellers: http://pinpoint.microsoft.com/)

In Windows 8 you can change language after installing: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2607607
