- I built my friend a computer with Vista Ultimate and can't even install SP1 (the full DL) because it says it does not support other languages other than English and a few others. What the hell is going on with that?

- You must have downloaded the wrong one, make sure you get wave0.

I downloaded it from MS!
In addition to starting the automatic delivery of the first 5 languages, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that also we're on track for the initial release of SP1 in the remaining languages in mid-April.
So if you downloaded the lang packs, you can't install SP1? Stupid Microsoft. -

- I had this problem with my computer.
Turns out I installed a language that I didn't use accidently. Removed it from Regional and Language Options and installed SP1. -

It takes a while to download and install all that crap, I'm not sure if he wants to go through that again. I'll ask him. Thanks for the tip, mule. -

- And to make matters worse, if you try to install SP1 and it fails, then you need to uninstall the language packs...BONK!! survey said...NO UNINSTALL FOR YOU. So, you can't intall SP1 until they release one for all of the languages and you can't uninstall the language packs you didn't need, so you can A) wait until later this year to upgrade, or B) install Vista from scratch...ahem.

I didn't mean that, they have a SP1 Wave 0 though with English and some other languages, and a SP1 Wave 1 with the other languages. -

Shouldn't I use Wave 1 if it's for other languages? -

XP is dead or diying let it R.I.P. ....... Take it out the back and shoot it in the head! -

- Actually I beg to differ. XP is not dead but very much alive.
I had Vista on this laptop and after putting up with it for over 6 month, I just "upgraded[b]" to XP and am loving it. I only wish I had done it earlier but I truly wanted to give Vista a try.
And before you start with your HW rants, yes this laptop has enough power (plus more) to have run Vista quite well.
In mid-April, we will begin distributing SP1 (in the first 5 languages) using the Automatic Update system. We have a lot of Windows users, so not everyone will get it on the same day. In fact, it will go to a small percentage of Windows Vista users each day. The exact timing of when you will receive it depends on when your PC is ready for Windows Vista SP1.
In addition to starting the automatic delivery of the first 5 languages, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that also we're on track for the initial release of SP1 in the remaining languages in mid-April.
