   I wonder if the Extra allows the change AUTOMATICALLY of language when you switch between accounts. For example, My account be in English, but my parent be Arabic.

   Hey Good_Bytes:  when you associate a language to a user account (which is a 1:1 association, so you can only associate a single language with any 1 account), the OS will automatically load in that language until you configure it to do otherwise.

   Wait; you mean an account can only have ONE language right?

   It would seem silly that a language pack can only be associated with one account (which is the other side of a 1:1 association), as this is the configuration desired by 99% of computer users.  At the very least, it's the factory default!

   Isn't in unbelievable that not a single Indian language is supported in Windows MUI in 2007 on Microsoft's next-generation OS? We're struck with Language Interface Packs.

   Can someone explain how MS's new found ability to sell Windows Vista to Crotatians as something that I should find a value extra to me personally?

   Labeling these language packs is very hokey, I can't believe people expect us to to take this seriously.

   Let me guess.  The next version of Windows will come with a calculator program that can only work with positive integers. A year after it ships, the Windows 7 Ultimates team will release a version that works with decimals AND hex....

   Hmmm, let me guess.  So you expect all the function of a scientific calculator on a normal 1 dollar calculator.  After all, all they did is calculate some numbers.

   wake me up when you release an extra that I can actually use. I only speak English; what use is this Extra for me?

    I was completely put off by the title here.

    When I see the word "Extras" I think of little things (nice-to-haves in fact) like pop-up calandars. I don't see different language versions as extras.

    More of one of your correspondents feel that the availability of Croatian is of no use to him. But there are no doubt many Croatians who haven't felt able to use Vista at all until the Croatian "language pack" is out.

    For them it's not irrelevant and for them it's not an "extra" either!

    (I'm not Croatian btw)

    I, unlike some above, do however congratulate you on spending time in your blog on something that from a US American point-of-view may seem less than important!
