I installed the Windows version [all languages] to my Vista Laptop to 
test out some of the Windows setup options.  I think the "multi 
language" version [smaller file size] may be the route to go if you are 
just wanting English [default] and French.  I did have to go an do the 
"custom install" to pick my languages that I wanted to add, other than 
the default English install.  I wanted to try 5 or more languages to see 
how that works.

Under "Tools/Language" option you can set the language of your text.  
What you do to change the language of the menus is something I have not 
tried, since I speak English and not any other language.

The only issue I had was the fact that you needed to know that for 
multiple languages [for at lease the all language version] in your 
initial install, you have to use the "custom" install option[s].  Other 
than that, it worked great.  I wish MSO was as easy, from what it was 
like for MSO 2003 pro version.  The ease of install and setup is one of 
my things I tell people about.  It is much easier to install than . . . . .
