Vista with 2 languages

[Guest]

I have a laptop with Vista Business (English) and would like to be able to
switch to German sometimes. I understand that I need to get a German version,
which is fine for me, but I do not want to overwrite my english version.
Is it really not possible to install only the "language part" of Vista
Business?
I do not want to use Virtual PC as this takes up far too much space.

However! I have it so done during the last Builds in the beta-test and also
with the Download iso, that I got gratuitously for the successful test from
Microsoft.

Ah, that would be the ULTIMATE version, not the BUSINESS version. It is not
possible in the BUSINESS version, as the OP asked about.
