Or an N version again.
- zokier 9y agoYes, I'm thinking this will at most result yet another N version that nobody will buy and will have 0 practical impact.
- vetinari 9y agoNobody will buy it, because it will be unobtanium, just like the N version was.
- zaroth 9y agoI thought it was easy to obtain, but nobody actually wanted it!
- vetinari 9y agoHave you ever tried to obtain it? Have you ever seen it as an OEM version bundled with computers, or just a box? The only time I've seen it was on the MSDN download page. Nowhere else. "Nobody wanted it" was a dishonest statement. It was not available -> nobody bought it -> so nobody "wanted" it.
- zaroth 9y agoListed right there next to the other editions in Stores which are required to sell it.... https://www.microsoft.com/en-cy/store/collections/windows https://www.microsoft.com/en-cy/store/collections/windows
- pmontra 9y agoIf the standard version breaks the Dutch law then it should be impossible to sell it there. Everybody should be able to buy only this hypothetical N version.
- rocqua 9y agoI had no option but to get the N version of windows 7 when using MSDNAA as a student in the Netherlands (service that gives free windows to students).
- userbinator 9y agoIf the N version has almost no telemetry, then I bet there will be plenty of customers. Almost everyone I've talked to who is unwilling to use Win10 has mentioned the telemetry/privacy aspects. The previous N versions only have no Windows Media Player --- something a lot of users either want or don't care about, so no wonder they weren't popular.
