    I doubt if it can be called as a loophole. :D

    If Windows is downloaded through Upgrade Assistant, then it is installed from ESD via setup. The same setup is used for retail media to install from WIM.

    Also if memory serves me right, then DISM in Preview can service ESD images too.

    Partially :D

    Core Single Language is meant for emerging market (similar as Home Basic) & you can't install LP after installing. Besides that it is same as Core.

    Oh well... you can only get CSL through your OEM.

    Think "Windows 8 Starter". It was created to help curb piracy in china etc.etc. and for "a small number of emerging markets".

    Why has it taken MS so long to release Enterprise 8.1 compared to client and server ?
