As far as just installing Win7, my problem is I don't have a working key for it. I was trying to do it the cheap way by installing 7 with my DVD and upgrading straight to my cheap copy of Windows 8....
If you don't like the Mountain Lion - iOS / iPad stuff, you will absolutely hate Win8. GUI for Win8 really stinks IMHO.
If you have a working machine with the Win7 installed from your DVD and running you can get the key from the system properties.
To install Win8, you don't need the Win7 key. Install win7 and when it pops up the screen to input the key you have an option to skip it and continue the install. Win8 update version doesn't care.
