Remember back when Windows 7 first RTM'd, you could pick between Windows 7 and Windows 7 E. Of course, the E edition was later cancelled and never actually sold, but the gold RTM code was released (or leaked, whatever). Does anyone around here use Windows 7 E? Can it download updates from Windows Update? Is there any way to activate it? I'm only asking out of curiosity. It would be interesting to know what it's like running this abandoned OS.
Windows 7 E is an operating system so downloading it from windows update is not possibled. Its just like any other 7 besides that "E", cant remember whats so special bout it tho (no IE?) If you want to try it, there's a 33-1 release here on MDL containing all english versions, 7 regular, E & N.
I know I can't download the OS from Windows Update. I was wondering if I install Windows 7 E, would it be able to use the Windows Update service? Does MS differentiate between the standard and E editions in any way? Do all the updates released for Windows 7 work on E? Would a service pack work?
E is the european choose-a-browser version N is the choose-a-mediaplayer version K is the korean choose-an-im-client version KN is combined K & N My technet keys for normal/K are interchangable, and N/KN are also interchangable. Can't use a normal/K key on N or KN or vice-versa though. Since my account is US-based, I never got E keys so don't know about their status.
Windows 7 E is European version OS. Microsoft is planning to ship separate application discs with Windows 7 E retail versions.
Thats not the problem. in different countries and parts of world, theyre just not alllowed to have lets say wmp or ie installed. Here in europe an update was released lettin you pick ur webbrowser if and only if ie was standard.
I is not the case of not allowed to install IE or WMP but user given choice to install or not without it being forced upon them.
