<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Verdana'>Each language is packaged as a single .MSI file. These new MUI .MSI packages help to simplify the deployment process, giving the benefit of Active Directory and Intellimirror technologies while improving support for the needs of multinational and multilingual employees. </span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Verdana'>MUI .MSI packages can help eliminate the need for administrators to preinstall required languages on company machines, since the packages can be installed across the network, from either ACL-controlled shares or through the Active Directory directory service, where Group Policy can be set to restrict access. This is particularly useful in scenarios where employees frequently roam to other machines across the corporation. Administrators can remove installations remotely once they are no longer needed, freeing up disk space and preventing the potential support issues that can arise when users select a UI language they don't understand. </span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Verdana'>For companies supporting one global system image, on-demand installation enables smaller and faster setups and images.
