The "N" editions of Microsoft OS's denote that there's no media player
included. They're made available to comply with EU anti-competition rulings.

From what I've read and heard, the number of N shipments is minuscule
(mostly to the EU Commission probably <g>).

How did you land up getting Business N anyway? It's not a default offering
anywhere AFAIK.
