Okay, a reverse problem.

I have Vista Ultimate, bought from within the US.

How can I install it so "everything" is in Korean.

Right now it appears the only Korean thing I can install is the Korean Input Method Editor.


I take it you need a version of Vista bought in Korea to get the full Korean?

There is a way to change the OS menus in Vista. Something you could never do in XP.

You will have to install the Korean language pack from the Microsoft website. It's about 1GB in size. I haven't actually done this, but, in theory, you can set up a Vista PC for multi-lingual households. One person can log-on to an English OS, another person can log-on to a Korean one.

Only possible to do if you have Vista Ultimate IIRC

This is good to know.

Has anyone done it yet?

Yep. I bought Vista Ultimate. Works well enough. Just download the language pack.
