Windows N version was / is to European market, does not include WMP. Windows K version is for Korean market, where local law requires Windows installation to put two Korean website shortcuts on desktop.

Windows KN version is a combination of these two: it installs two local, Korean website shortcuts and comes without WMP.

The Media Pack enables/installs Windows Media Player
