Windows Vista Updates: Language Packs and Ultimate Extras

During the Windows Vista event in New York I noticed the new updates including some language packs:

Update: Windows Update just dropped over 20 updates to my Ultimate machine. 7 of those updates are for known issues (HD Audio, FireWire hard drives, and Phishing Filter, among others), 11 are language packs, and 2 are the final versions of the BitLocker and Hold 'Em Ultimate Extras.

Update 2: Do change the language you have to go to Control Panel -> Change display language:

Now, I have Japanese, German and English.  ;)

Right guys, everyone seems to have the same problem. I have Chinese on my Vista and it is impossible it understand! So would it possible if you could send me the language pack for Vista ultimate or could you post the web address for the download on your blog.

I bet you are getting really annoyed with people asking you to send the pack to you but if you could i would be very grateful.

Cheers Michael
