Vista - Vista RTM MUI

Re: Vista RTM MUI

Where can one find a definitive list of available MUI packs for Vista
Ultimate? In particular, I am looking for the Estonian MUI. Support info
on Microsoft sites is nonspecific on what languages are supported and when.
I really do not like the way language packs may or may not mysteriously
appear on Windows update.

Regards.

Re: Vista RTM MUI

Here's a list. As to whether it's definitive, I don't know.

Re: Vista RTM MUI

Is there any way to get MUI on Vista Home? I'm wanting to install the
Chinese language support onto my Vista Home laptop but am having trouble
figuring out how.

Simple answer - No.

MUI requires the higher end versions, such as Enterprise or Ultimate.

Of course you course you could have found this out yourself if you had
bothered to look
see
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...b5ecc1033.mspx

If you want more features then upgrade.
