Windows 8 does not sell physical media products in China

Windows 8 is going to be on the market. For users who are looking forward to Windows 8 in China, the following news is not too old. It is necessary to mention it again: Microsoft will simplify in China from the date of Windows 8 release. The Windows product sales form, cancel the sale of the Windows physical media form, only provide electronic software download (download the installation image after purchasing the product license) and pre-installed two sales forms with the hardware product.

In other words, starting October 26, there will be no Windows 8 boxed products with physical media sold in China (if it is bought, it must be pirated or fake), only Windows purchased through the Microsoft Store. 8 is a genuine product.

It is reported that Microsoft knows that this change means to remove the Windows client FPP product from China's general agent product catalog. They made this decision after making appropriate considerations to help end users correctly identify genuine and pirated Windows products and reduce potential confusion about proper licensing.
