Actually, reading these newsgroups and other resources, I am learning a
lot about Vista without installing it.

I'll do whatever the mood strikes me to do and you have no control over
that.

Well, that's news to me. It's about time MS caught up with Linux and
offered any language per DVD.

You learn something new every day.

When the MS fanbois run out of ammo, they always go for the ad hominem
attack. It's as predictable as the tide.

My, my, yet another insult. As predictable as the tide. I like Ubuntu.

Ah the MS boys just can't help themselves and can only resort to insults.

Sheesh! He was asking what the drop down box actually said, not whether it
was possible to choose the language. :-)

I guess I'm the one on drugs! I re-read the post and you were right. I

Input = 14000 baud, Process=300 baud, the rest = ERROR!

My apologies
