In this screen-shot, the position after "Windows" was covered. Later in the chatbox, canouna mentioned this was build 8033; also the covered space was the SKU name. But then why should he need to cover immediately after "Windows"? If it displayed "Windows 8" then there would simply be no need to cover it up.
A few days later, he mentioned in the chatbox that: In the win8 new builds, "Windows 8" is displaced by "Windows".
2 days ago, he posted in the MDL open forum the screen-shot of another win8 edition "Starter":

Here, he also covered the windows name immediately before "Starter", but obviously he neglected another position: on comparing with the image of win7 starter, the lower line also shows the name of the windows edition "Windows 7", but on his screen-shot of the win8 starter it only showed "Windows".

In answering to questions about this point, canouna made the open confirmation that, in the win8 new builds, the "8" is deleted.

Now this is interesting, if the MS guys went thru all this process to remove the "8" in the win8 new builds, does it imply that they are going to abandon the name "Windows 8", and is proceeding to apply another name to this next version of windows?
