"We have some information we'd like to share in regards to Windows Vista SP1
and folks running Language Packs. Some of you may have noticed that after
installing Windows Vista SP1 on Windows Vista Ultimate - the Language Packs
fail to appear on Windows Update (KB947875).

We will be releasing Windows Vista SP1 in two "waves". The first wave will
only provide Windows Vista SP1 to Windows Vista Ultimate PCs running the
following 5 Languages: English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish. The
second wave will follow shortly after - supporting all 36 languages. "
