I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did Windows 8 manufacturing begin?
All the background I'm provided with is that "However, only a day after its release to manufacturing, a copy of the final version of Windows 8 Enterprise N (a version for European markets lacking bundled media players to comply with a court ruling) leaked online, followed by leaks of the final versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise a few days later.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
