I'm playing the Chinese language version of WOW and I can't get the game to input Chinese characters when using an English operating system. My old laptop has Chinese XP and my new one has English Vista. This wouldn't be such a terrible thing, if it wasn't for the fact that half my excuse for putting so much time/money into wow has to do with finding a hobby that can help me learn the language. So I want to be able to type it. I can't read or understand it will enough to operate completely in a Chinese operating system, but it's the only option I have. The desktop will just be my wow gaming system; I won't use it for anything else so I figure it's worth the trouble to put a Chinese language OS on there.

I've been fiddling around with my Vista laptop over the past couple days, plugging monitors in it and running the Dual view and checking performance. I think I'll stick with Vista when I build my desktop. It's the big holiday over here so all the stores are running outta stock for items and I couldn't find a Geforce 8800 based card when I did my initial browsing. I'll probably have to wait until after the Spring Festival before I can find stores with everything in stock. Although I'm gonna step my search up a notch and go to the main tech shopping area before the festivities start.
