multi language user interface vista versions

Currently, a user of Windows XP SP2 Pro has a well-designed interface for Multi-Language Support of Chinese, Japanese and Korean entry simply by installing IME and tweaking it.
Is it true that only the Ultimate and Enterprise Editions [that's just two of nine total editions] the top two Business Editions, will offer this MUI support for Chinese, Japanese and Korean entry and transmission of text?

Based on information, thats what is known so for, anyway, packaging and distribution is still not finalized, I would wait until beta 2 or closer to RTM to find out. -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "D.

If true, it's a bummer.

ummm...
Actually this is all wrong...
All version of Windows XP (not sure on Starter as I don't live in developing countries sorry...) allow you to input any language as long as you install the IME in Region and Language Options.
Language text input is NOT MUI. MUI is the interface language changing mechanism, and it currently exclusive to corporate licensing agreements or OEMs (very rare).
The absence of MUI in Windows Vista does *not* prevent you to input foreign languages.
By the way, I'm still confused whether MUI will be available for Ultimate or Enterprise.... sounds more like Enterprise at the moment, as its always been...
