Microsoft responds to disappearance of Windows Vista language packs


      On Friday 24 August, an internal process change inadvertently caused the current versions of the Windows Vista language packs offered as Ultimate Extras to be withdrawn earlier than normal in preparation for release of new updates to these language packs.  This situation has since been resolved and the language packs are once more available to Windows Vista Ultimate customers via Windows Update.  The content of the language packs themselves has not been changed. 
      
            Finer points
      
      Validation of these language packs is handled in the same manner as security updates.
      
            If they are accessed directly from Microsoft.com Download Center, then validation is required to download.
            If they are accessed via the Windows Update control panel, then validation is required before updates will appear.
            If Automatic Update (AU) is enabled in Windows Update, then all of these updates will install automatically.  There is no validation on AU.
