Windows 8 Versions (Final Release)
Windows 8 got released on MSDN 15/8.
I have a subscription to MSDN thru work and wanted to download it. But for each windows 8 there are 2 editions, one have the appending "N".
Is this a language indication? N for "norwegian" maybe? (my MSDN and myself are norwegian)

"Windows 7 N
Fast-forward to today, and a Microsoft spokesperson explained to CNET UK, "The European Commission's 2004 decision requires Microsoft to offer an N version of Windows in Europe. We continue to abide by this ruling."
And so Windows 7 N was born. They cost the same as their non-'N' brothers and sisters, and apart from Windows Media Player, offer the same spread of features.
All you have to do now is decide which of the six non-N versions are right for you, and, wouldn't you know it, we have a handy, simple guide for that as well,"

No, "N" editions are released in Europe and don't contain Media Player. Beside the lack of a Windows Media Player, there is no other difference.
