Vista Tutorial - Vista Language

I'm looking to buy a new laptop with Windows Vista on it, the problem i have
is that i live in Daegu, Korea and all the computers over here come loaded
with the korean version of Vista. Is it possible to change the language in
the settings or would i have to buy an english copy of vista and install it.
I would appreciate anyones help on this
Thank you

If you get Windows Vista Ultimate edition preinstalled, you can download a
language pack from Windows Update that will put your computer in english (or
any other supported language).

As I recall, Windows Vista Ultimate edition let's you customize the
language while the other versions do not. You should check this by
Googling the question or asking it on Microsoft's site.

I'm in China & also looking to get a new laptop with Vista, but it 'only'
comes with the Premium edition... does this mean i can't get a language pack?
Thanks in advance.
