Windows 8 version specifically for Mac I really dont understand this. My school sells products to students via onthehub.com.

They offer a separate version of Windows 8 Pro that they claim is specifically for Macs. How does this make any sense? They say it is tailored to work with parallels or bootcamp and those type of things.

I am assuming they are only making the claim for 'security' sake? Let me know your two cents. I really just want to use it on my PC.
Perhaps they have selected an OEM version or otherwise made sure that the version being selected somehow addresses the need they perceive their Mac community would prefer.

The upgrade pricing seems odd since OS X isn't an eligible version for consumer upgrades, but perhaps the university has negotiated a special agreement and wants to only offer the upgrade price to Mac users and not PC users?
