Remaining Ultimate Extra Language Packs Released! We
are pleased to announce the release of the remaining 19 languages packs
for Windows Vista Ultimate. This Ultimate Extras release brings the
total number of language packs for use with Windows Vista Multilingual
User Interface Pack (MUI) to 35. Windows Vista Ultimate enables users
install multiple languages on their system and quickly switch between
them by associating a system language with their login name.
MUI
is particularly useful in multilingual homes where multiple people use
a single computer and choose different languages for their primary use.
People who wish to learn a new language will also find MUI to be a
particularly useful feature. We are aware of a
very large number of customers who have purchased Ultimate for this
feature specifically and are gratified that these customers can now
realize the full benefit of Windows Vista Ultimate.
The languages we are adding today are as follows:
Arabic
Bulgarian
Croatian
Czech
Estonian
Greek
Hebrew
Hungarian
Latvian
Lithuanian
Polish
Portuguese (Portugal)
Romanian
Serbian (Latin)
Slovak
Slovenian
Thai
Turkish
Ukrainian
In addition to the release of the remaining Language Packs, a component in the language pack installation process called lpksetup.exe
has also been updated. This updated component addresses previous issues
which some customers have experienced with language pack installations
and so it is recommended that you download and install this component
first. The updated lpksetup.exe can be found on Microsoft Download Center at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942903While
today’s delivery marks the final installment of the Extras announced
earlier this year, these are by no means the final set of Extras that
we intend to deliver. As I mentioned in my post last month, beyond the
Extras shipped to date, we plan to ship a collection of additional
Windows Ultimate Extras that we are confident will delight our
passionate Windows Vista Ultimate customers.
Given
our track record, it would be unwise to provide details of what comes
next until I am 100% confident in our ability to deliver. Please rest assured, though, that our team is working on hard to deliver on our promise to Ultimate customers. I look forward to announcing the next Ultimate Extra. Please stay tuned…
Thanks for your passion, patience and your continued support.
