Taken from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/upd...ouncement.mspx. Looks like this is the automatic update schedule.

I guess Microsoft doesn't work from Thanksgiving to New Year. And what's going on with the Asian languages? Q2 2007?!

Thanks for posting this schedule. It cetainly isn't good news, the MS lack-of-action plan is becoming depressingly predictable. The long wait continues.

Hopefully we'll get some clue to the expected performance of the other languages from those set to go to auto-update this week.

I'm surprised Arabic is being released as early as it is. We'll see if they stick to this schedule.

[CD]

Yes, Arabic was the only pleasant suprise. As you say - will it AU on 15/11 and what will it bring if it does? It will be useful to have one very significant (for us anyway) test language out.

German, French, Spanish, Finnish, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic going auto update in 2 days time ISN'T good news?

[GS]

I wonder what ELL is.

Turkish, Portuguese, Czech, Hungarian, ELL on 22-Jan

Did we miss a language?!

This is good news but it was expected. Next auto-updates to be released will be Jan 1 - that's the unexpected bad news.

ELL stands for Ellinika (Ελληνικά), meaning Greek.

Quick lesson: The name of the country is "Ellas", in English it is written as "Hellas" (Hellenic Civilization, Hellenistic etc.)

The code is EL. but they could have easily just have said Greek. :banghead:
