I have Vista, and it's been an excellent system for me otherwise, especially for typing and reading Japanese. I have the Japanese language included with my Vista home edition, but it's not reading Japanese in the BL games I've downloaded, and I need some help. - -;;;;
Following the FAQs post here on aarin, and the one that says "PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING JAPANESE GAMES", I went through to Control Panel > Regions and Language > Japanese, and applied the settings. My computer's running JP now, but the text in my games is gibberish. (The games are Laughter Land and PrincexPrince. And, as it were, JP text gets turned into gibberish in a lot of other places, like some websites and files.)
I know no one really knows what to do with Vista, but if anyone else has it and has any solutions to my problem or for other Vista-related problems, or any questions, either, hopefully we can help each other out.
