It's proven that there is a number of officially announced bare Windows 8 (Windows 8 Core) editions:

  • Windows 8 Core
  • Windows 8 Core N (proof: EU commission ruling)
  • Windows 8 Core China Edition (confirmed by Steve Guggenheimer)

Possibly there might exist:

  • Windows 8 Core Single Country
  • Windows 8 Core Single Language

Please describe, what limitations do different editions have (e.g no MUI, activation issues etc.)?

Windows 8 and Windows 8 N are the only two "Windows 8 Core" products. Your question is based on to much theory, the number of editions of Windows 8, is on the Microsoft website. – Ramhound Oct 30 '12 at 14:10

Yes there is a small subset of W8 licensing that is local language only For China and emerging markets.

For China and a small set of select emerging markets, we will offer a local language-only edition of Windows 8.
