hi,
anyone know if a uk oem version off windows 7 , gives you the option to install in german language at all ?

As far as i know, only the Ultimate versions of Windows 7 will allows the language packs, could be wrong though, as i had to purchase an Ultimate Version to get the other language packs.

Ultimate is the only one that allows the use of language packs - though one can install for example Office 2007 German

I just bought a Korean laptop with Windows 7 in korean install.
And found the following very helpful.

Works for Vista and Windows 7 and dosnt need the ultimate version.

I still had some problems with apps (goggle toolbar etc) being in Korean but I am slowly finding all the probelms and reinstalling english versions.

Keyboard is still covered in Hangeul but its english as well so its not too bad.
Worst thing was the cost Laptops in korea are not cheap
