Microsoft just released the final Windows 8 versions for MSDN members, before its consumer release in october. Anyway, I am a MSDN member. Today I went to see my downloads page and I found a list of the new versions to be downloaded. Windows 8 Pro. Windows 8 Pro N. Windows 8 Enterprise. Windows 8 Enterprise N. I know the difference between the versions " Windows 8 ", " Windows 8 Pro " and " Windows 8 Enterprise ", which you easily find at wikipedia. But, I really need to know the difference between these versions and the "N" versions before download one of them. Wikipedia also explains N versions, look under "Special-purpose editions" in the Windows 7 Wiki. N and KN editions. The features in the N and KN Editions are the same as their equivalent full versions, but do not include Windows Media Player or other Windows Media-related technologies, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker. The cost of the N and KN Editions are the same as the full versions, as the Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N or Windows 7 KN can be downloaded without charge from Microsoft. N versions were created due to a fine/settlement with the European Union. answered Aug 16 '12 at 0:33. Thank you, I have updated the Wikipedia page for Windows 8, too.
