Vista Thai Interface Pack?
For short, we have seen a number of search string looking for Local Interface Pack (LIP) such as Thai LIP. Currently, Microsoft just added about 10 local versions of Windows Vista including Thai into MSDN/TechNet subscriber download (we’re downloading it) but we’re not sure if Windows Vista with Thai Interface is already available in the market– we didn’t see it. Btw, Microsoft may release Local Interface Pack later some time but not so soon. If you’re looking Thai LIP, keep your eyes on Microsoft Thailand (here and here) or subscribe to our feed.

Sorry, I am a bit confused. Since we are getting Vista Thai, why should we still need Thai LIP? For the English Vista?

Thank you for your comment, kumara.
First of all, Thai LIB together with all other supported language were released via Automatic Update.
For normal user, there is no real benefit for LIB. But for some companies or college, Vista’s LIB is give them benefit. Vista come with advanced User Interface by this case each user can have their own UI completely different. Just like a big company have number of shared computer which used by Japanese staff, Thai staff, and European staff– each of this staff can have an account with their own language interface on same computer.
Yes, Thai LIB is no need for Vista Thai Edition. Btw, if parent have Vista English Edition they can set up account with Thai interface for their child.

Thanks, nb. That’s pretty detailed!
Could I ask another question then? I have an Thai application previously running all good in my English XP with Thai MUI, but in the Thai Vista, one screen displayed garbage code. I was wondering why, is there any difference between MUI and language version casued this?
