    Windows 8 Consumer Preview (32-bit) DVD Label is: HB1_CCPA_X86FRE_EN-US_DV5

    H -> 8th major Windows release so the eighth alphabet (H)
    B1 -> Beta 1
    C -> Client
    CP -> Consumer Preview
    A -> ???
    X86 -> 32-bit
    FRE -> Free build
    EN-US -> English (US)
    DV5 -> DVD

    Well, this actually doesn't matter a bit, but just for the sake of curiosity, I want to know what A means in CCPA... Anyone knows??

    or may be A -> All as it was for public? client and consumer words dont fit in your full form as both mean same thing.

    Thats exactly how it does work now, on my Acer and other current tablets, so running W8 in an RDP session on an ipad is somehow better than using it on current and future tablets?
