Windows 7 Home Premium N - MSDN (x86) | 2.07GBStumbling
on to Microsoft's UK Web store could thrust you face-to-face with
confusion -- up close and personal with three unusual versions of
Windows known as Windows 7 Home Premium N, Windows 7 Professional N and
Windows 7 Ultimate N.The strong arm of European law demands
Microsoft offer these confusing 'N' editions, but to understand what
they are and why they exist at all, we need a little history lesson.Back
in 2004, the European Commission fined Microsoft a record €497m under
an antitrust ruling. The Commission concluded that with a near-monopoly
in the operating system market, Microsoft's bundling of Windows Media
Player within Windows was anti-competitive. Microsoft was forced to
unbundle the software and offer European consumers and manufacturers a
version of Windows without it.Microsoft was allowed to keep
selling Windows with a media player, under the condition that it at
least offer a version without. This took place in the latter part of
Windows XP's life and prompted the release of Windows XP N -- a version
identical to Windows XP, but without Windows Media Player.A
couple of years down the line, Windows Vista splatted down in Europe,
complete with its own N editions to confuse the poor saps who missed
the EC's memo.Windows 7 NFast-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.Download from uploadinghttp://uploading.com/files/fm4be6fa/W7- ... art01.rar/http://uploading.com/files/5d1216ca/W7- ... art02.rar/http://uploading.com/files/a8284e33/W7- ... art03.rar/http://uploading.com/files/2f7cb2m1/W7- ... art04.rar/http://uploading.com/files/beccd58b/W7- ... art05.rar/http://uploading.com/files/a39md65b/W7- ... art06.rar/http://uploading.com/files/914d35ab/W7- ... art07.rar/http://uploading.com/files/m44mfmfd/W7- ... art08.rar/http://uploading.com/files/3563e273/W7- ... art09.rar/http://uploading.com/files/8e16c79c/W7- ... art10.rar/http://uploading.com/files/71cb237a/W7- ... art11.rar/ |
