where can you buy WindowsXP and OfficeXP (Korean)??

[MasterHoss]

Any links guys? I found some places online that had it for $200 for WinXP Home (upgrade)... you gotta' be kidding me. I'm building a computer for my dad and I thought he'd appareciate having a dual boot WinXP (English)/WinXP (Korean) ... also, where would I get a Korean keyboard??

WinXP have a Multi-language Pack CD which you can buy and install other languages into WinXP (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc...)

So you can just buy WinXP English, then get that Multi-language CD and get both English & Korean versions...

ebay has Korean keyboards.

they probably have Korean WinXP and OfficeXP too. btw, you can change the fonts to Korean within WindowsXP without buying the Korean version. the entire OS won't be in Korean, but webpages will and you can type in Korean with IE, Word, notepad, etc.

 

[Doh!]

You don't need to purchase the Korean version. Just install the asian language fonts included in the installation cd, select regional settings to S. Korea and set the keyboard layout, input language to Korean, & you're set. You don't need any Korean-specific keyboard either. Just grab any cheap keayboard and it'll work just fine.
Same goes for the Office. Installing Korean software is not a problem either since you can select the option in the regional settings to recognize Korean as the default language for non-unicode programs.

Great!! Thanks a lot for the information guys. I'll probably take a look at my WinXP Pro CD later tonight to see what "extras" are included on that thing. I'm going to probably load WinXP Home on the machine for my dad... I'll look for that language pack CD that BCYL referred to.
