Guys,
I am really new to the whole Windows Installation & it's working on a Mac OSX 10.8.4
Currently i have the following things installed on 11' 2013 i5/8GB/512 SSD mac:
1. Parallels
2. VM Ware Fusion
3. Windows 8 (2 .iso img files that regularly opened with mac shows me setup.exe)
4. Do i need a USB to be able to install it ? I tried doing it using VM Ware Fusion and it couldn't recognize the setup and said it's corrupt. It did allot 60GB SSD space to it.
5. What are different ways of installing it?

THe above link seems too many steps...
6. Is installing windows 7 first the only way out ?
7. If yes to #6, what are the steps for doing that now?
8. And then is Win8 worth the upgrade ?
I think i would also need to use BOOTCAMP to install windows.
If the windows 8 is too much pain (based on the rants i have heard online about its drivers not working/supported and other troubles), then i would like to rather install Windows 7 and be happy.
And before we go down the route of oh...why do you want to run a windows on an expensive mac....well sadly the softwares like Visio etc do NOT work on Mac and i need them.
Thanks
