Windows Vista Lounge

The Vista OS has a great set of language packs that are free for those who want the system to oeprate int heir native language. In this case the choice was for Russian, but the version of Vista was Home Premium. I’ve installed the Russian (Cyrillic) language pack on the ultimate version and it worked very well, every menu choice was in Russian! But it looks like you can’t have that feature unless you upgrade?

 Seems like Microsoft would let people buy the language pack rather than have to upgrade everything. But if you’re trying to get a Russian version of the OS to work, make sure it’s Vista Ultimate, or you wont be able to download the packs through the update service.

Has anyone found a work around for this? Please don’t say “buy a Mac” that is so last year.
