My university has a Microsoft license, so I jumped at the opportunity to be a beta tester...err...I mean a pioneer!

I took that Vista DVD and installed it on my Dell GX280. Some apps are not working, but that's OK, I'll find out why and make them run. I was browsing some vista related news recently and I discovered that Windows now features language packs, just like the MacOS! I can now localize my OS without needing to reinstall the OS in another language! Hallelujah! OK, so I go the control panel, where one would be able to find this wonderful ability - after all, I don't want my co-workers to even understand what is on my screen.

I saw the button to install a language...I clicked on it, and it was asking me where the LIP files are. Huh? You mean language files are not included on the Vista (enterprise) DVD?. Ok then, let's click on help. Help says go online to download MUI packs. OK...off to microsoft.com/downloads to get those coveted LIPs...but again, nothing for Vista. What the heck?!

So...Microsoft is advertising functionality that vista does not have yet - so what else is new? I've found a few torrents around that supposedly have a MUI DVD...but I have not tried it yet, and besides, none of those MUI packs includes Greek, which is what I want anyway!

Oh well...I guess we are still at Apple [1] - Microsoft [0] since they really ship a multilingual OS.
