This is awesome! Lack of localization is one of my biggest pet peeves with Microsoft products. Is there any product that can do this with MS Office?
Now I can do something about the German version of Vista that is mocking me in my wife's laptop.

This is not amazing! It's plain stupid in the first place that MS requires you to have the Ultimate version to switch which language to use for your OS. They deserve a boot to the head for this one.
