    I've seen a load of links for "Windows as Gaeilge" but I can only find the XP version. Does anyone know if a Vista version is/will be available?

    Im pretty sure you can change vista to irish with no problems. go to control panel, and click on regional and language settings.

    Aye. In CP-->Regional and Language Options, change from 'English (Ireland)' to 'Irish (Ireland)'.

    Don't forget that you can get openoffice and firefox in Irish too.
    There are also updates for newer versions of Microsoft Office

    Remember that at present the localisations are only 80%-90%
    Once they reach 100% then you may not be able to get them free as with most other Interface Langauges you have to buy a new license as the Windows / Office license is per Langague.

    I work for an Education body who use XP with the Irish language interface pack [LIP] but AFAIK Microsoft have not yet released an Irish LIP for Vista

    It is quite difficult to navigate through the menus if you do not have some Irish, this makes support problematic, monolingual techies like me may have to uninstall the language pack to sort out a problem,
