Hi I'm interested in purchasing a copy of Windows 7 that a computer repair shop is selling near my house. The copy is being retailed at $130, is this a good price?

Also, will only Windows 7 work when installing bootcamp? Or is it only certain versions of Windows 7 that will work (like Windows 7 something-bit)?

With the purchase of Windows 7, I am only planning to install a 2D MMORPG (it's known as maplestory) game on my MBA (I have the cheapest $999 dollar one) so will the game be able to run and stuff smoothly?

I heard that VMWare/Parallels aren't good to run any type of game, especially on my MBA..

If anyone could answer my questions, that would be great. I've been doing research on these things since I purchased my MBA but there's not really a lot of answers out there because of how new the model is..

Thanks in advance.
