CYaBro: Am I reading that correctly in that if you want Windows Media Center you need to buy Windows 8 Pro plus the WMC addon?
Or is it included with Windows 8?
alexx: "Trusted boot" = UEFI secure boot = locked bootloader?

You will need to purchase the Pro edition and on top of that you will need to purchase an media pack add on that will cover the licenses for Dolby pro and codec licenses.

Which means the prices without WMC will be cheaper right...? :)

Regs: the add-on pack might only cost $10 or $20... so don't expect the windows price to drop much (I have no idea).... Might not seem like much for a user, but the overall savings for Microsoft would be enormous - they wouldn't be paying codec license fees for millions of copies of windows that don't really need the licenses.
