windows 7 versions

what is the differance between the windows 7 e and n versions

 

[fuzzer]

E is basically the european version after the silly euro antitrust case.

The finals of it arent set in stone yet , but at one point it was going to ship without an internet browser , but the latest is some form of chooser with all available options.

Read now that it is planned to be an upgrade and not a new install. But those that had ordered will get full install.

E doesnt include IE as default - however they will now stop producing the E version, and replace it with a normal one with a browser choice option, like so:

Is there still a way of legally downloading any version 7 or has the beta offer ceased being available? Vista is driving me nuts!

Windows 7 has gone live, will be available to TechNet subscribers in a couple of weeks and OEMs about a fortnight after that so the BETA testing is over.

It's already available to Technet and MSDN OS subscribers, MSDN AA (academic alliance), and Volume Licence customers. I have my nice shiny Windows 7 Pro 64-bit DVD ready to be installed when I have a day off on Friday.

In response to the original question:

E = European version, either no IE or a chooser option.
N = No IE, no Windows Media Player.
K = Korean
KN = Korean, no Windows Media Player.

The Beta is upgrade only, however the RTM release has options of full or upgrade.
