What version of Windows 7 should I use with a MacAir?

Question

I'd like to buy an OEM version if possible.

I believe I need a bootable DVD OEM version - is there a way to tell if an OEM is bootable?

Apple support told me I needed a product key that is compatible with Apple - how would I tell that?

Or... am I better of going full retail?

I need Windows to run some accounting software, but won't use it for anything else - I think Home Premium would be good enough.

Thanks

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), Mac Air

You must use a retail version of Windows 7, however, these can no longer be purchased.

You should just use a retail version of Windows 8. And with Windows 8.1, you get the start button back.

I hope I answered your question.
