vista language interface

[Chrispy]

nothing to do with school this one...

I'm running Vista home premium on my own laptop (so far no problems) but in Italian.

Home premium doesn't support multi-lingual user interface (can't they simplify the language a little bit?) can I install Vista business in English without having to mess around formatting the machine and reinstalling all the drivers or do I need to buy a Vista Ultimate upgrade and then change the interface language? (rather not do this as it costs plenty)

If I buy the Ultimate upgrade will it make any difference whether I buy it with English as default language or Italian?

Cheers

Chris

As I understand it the Ultimate edition allows you to pick any base language (eg English) so upgrading should allow you to change between English and Italian.

 

I have not however tried this.

If you get an English Vista Home premium CD and use your current CD Key that should work.
