Thanks for this info.
I currently have Windows 7 SP1, and I have always only used DVDs to install Windows. This may be a daft question, but if I choose to get the ISO, am I supposed to burn that to a CD/DVD and then boot with it? Or maybe extract it to a USB stick and boot with that?
Any idea yet, if they're still doing "standard" and "professional" versions? Having a USB TV recorder, I thought it really stunk that you could only get Windows Media Player on Win8 Pro...
