e is only without browser, and n is without browser and media player.

Yep the 'E' stands for Europe version, which is supposedly without a Browser.
Having said that, there is talk now that a Browser may be included.

http://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/Microsoft/Windows/Windows-7Back to your original question, the regular, E and N are all the same if you download the missing apps from M$ and install them on the E & N versions. (See msr's post above for what are missing).

cheers guys , i got the ultimate version off msdn 64 bit on dual boot so just checked and it has ie8 and mplayer 12 , i was having a look at what differences there were between all of um and wondered what the E and N mean as it hasnt got that on the msdn site .

cheers

[Van Nugent]

The reason the E and N exist was because you guys in Europe had forced M$ to take those components off for a "fair business practice". :)

Enterprise is actually the Ultimate version for volume licensing. It's (Enterprise) actually identical to Ultimate, feature-wise.

cheers mate for all the info

[Van Nugent]

Yep, Windows 7 Ultimate & Enterprise versions are just like XP Pro & XP Pro Corp. They have the same features and they're different in the registration/activation.
