    Yo,

    My VAIO comes preinstalled with XP Pro - English version. However, in the National Settings, I can change language to whatever I'd like, preferably Swedish.

    Now, here's what gets me confused. When I installed SP2, the computer prompted me that I needed the English SP2 version, even though I run my Windows in Swedish. I downloaded the English one and installed it and it works alright. The confusing part to me is that the new SP2 features are also in Swedish, like the Security Center and stuff.

    Why is it that there are different installations for different operating system languages, when (apparently) even the English SP2 speaks Swedish with me=
