Consider the following scenario:

• You use a Windows Vista product image that includes a ZH-HK or ZH-TW (Chinese Traditional) language pack to deploy Windows Vista.
• Or, you run the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) Wizard to redeploy Windows Vista after you have installed a version of Windows Vista.

In this scenario, the English version of the Microsoft Software License Terms appears in the OOBE Wizard. You expect to see the Chinese Traditional version of the license terms.

Consider the following scenario:

• You are running a Windows Vista-based computer.
• You use Windows Desktop Search (WDS) or Instant Search to perform a search on some traditional Chinese characters.

In this scenario, documents that are known to contain the traditional Chinese characters are not returned in the search results.

For example, when you perform a search by using a person’s full name in WDS or in Instant Search, documents that contain the name are returned in the search results. However, when you perform a search by using the person’s first name, no documents are returned.

Consider the following scenario:

• You are running a Windows Vista-based computer that includes Windows Media Center.
• You connect the computer to a secure wireless network.
• You install a non-English-language Input Method Editor (IME), and then you set this as the default IME.

When you start Windows Media Center and then try to join the secure wireless network, you are prompted to enter your Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key. However, when you use either the keyboard or the remote control to enter any numeric character in the WEP box, the default IME setting is triggered. Therefore, you cannot continue entering the WEP, and you cannot connect to the secure wireless network.

Consider the following scenario. You upgrade from the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 to the .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1. Then, you change the input language in a text box on the Microsoft Expression Design surface to an East Asian language. In this scenario, the language does not function correctly.

Note: This problem also occurs on computers that have the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installed.

When you perform an unattend installation of East Asian language versions of Windows Vista, the installation is not successful. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

Setup could not set display language

Note: This problem has been verified in the Japanese, Chinese (Taiwan), and Chinese (PRC) versions of Windows Vista. The problem does not occur in the Korean version of Windows Vista.
