Hi, I was given a free copy of Vista Ultimate for beta testing. I wanted to
give my free copy to my friend in Hong Kong but I am wondering if a full
retail product key will work with other language versions of Windows Vista.
This would be a US version and my friend wants to install Traditional Chinese
Hong Kong SAR.
 
Product Keys are language specific. Therefore a Product Key for
an English version of Vista will not work with any other language
version of Vista.

OK,
I wasn't sure since my Technet keys will work with all language versions of
Vista as long as it's the right product (i.e. Business, Ultimate, etc.)
