So, 3 days after installing, I got this BIG gray watermark on my Windows 8 Enterprise N.

Does anybody also get this watermark? And any ways to disable it?

Restart explorer.exe. It will go away for a little while

Save it as a .bat. Now, just run this and the watermark will go away :P

Where have you got the Traditional Chinese language pack? Isn't the RTM leak only in English?

That is just a language pack downloaded from a Chinese forum called pcbeta.
There are:
zh-TW and zh-CN for x64
zh-CN for X86
zh-CN and zh-HK for Server 2012

Is there a way other than temporarily disabling it? It just comes back after explorer.exe is reset.

The only ways to get rid of it are restarting explorer, activating Windows or editing resources.
