Now that the official Windows 8 launch day has passed, those of you who have already preordered the new operating system should receive the Windows 8 Pro box very soon.

As you probably know by now, the Windows 8 Pro retail package is very different as compared to the previous Windows versions and it comes in one of the total five available vibrant illustrations.

But what’s more important is that the package is entirely made of paper-based material and not from plastic. With the exception of the DVD disc, of course.

This means that the Windows 8 Pro package is 41 percent lighter, while the Redmond-based technology company generated 80 less greenhouse gas emissions for the box production.
