Microsoft rolled out a special promo a couple of days ago, allowing iOS and Mac developers to purchase Windows 8 Pro and Parallels Desktop 8 for only $25 (€19.5).

Even though this could be pretty hard to believe for Apple enthusiasts, the offer sold out in just a few hours, with the official website of the campaign going offline due to huge traffic.

In case you’re wondering what’s so special about this offer, you should probably know that a Windows 8 Pro copy is sold for $199.99 (€155) on Microsoft’s website, while a Parallels Desktop 8 license costs $70 (€54.5).

Of course, this is exciting news for the Redmond-based technology giant, so the company has promised to offer even more similar offers in the near future, as the iOS developer base is apparently a priority for Microsoft.
