Vista MUI, how does it work?

[barhom]

Yo,

I just found out that windows vista supports MUI (Multilingual User Interface), in such a way that for example I could have English version of Vista when I login to my user, and for example the arabic version when my father logs in.

I also heard something about LIP service or something, didnt really figure out how that works in the beta win vista as I couldnt download any languages.

However, earlier I thought of buying the OEM version of Home Premium, and today I found out that the home premium version doesnt support this - is this true?

What would be the best way to be able to have both English and other languages of windows depending on the user that is loggin in? Does it work with the OEM version ?

Regards,

Barhom

If it's anything like Windows XP (and from my experiences it will be), the "MUI version" of Vista will not be readily available to consumers. If I'm not mistaken, there's only 2 real ways to get a copy of it for XP. One is to have an MSDN subscription. The only other way is to get a copy from MS for actual use on an actual workstation was to order it through a Microsoft business representative, unfortunately.
