Hi,
I have installed a fresh copy of Vista Beta2 on my Toshiba M200 tablet PC. During installation I selected India as my country and language as English. The installation went fine but now I see a Language Bar. This was never the case in Windows XP.
Ok, so I felt the defaults had changed so I right clicked the status bar and from the context menu Toolbars i unchecked the Language Bar. This makes the language bar dissappear. But then when I hover my mouse over some icons, especially the Power icon the language bar comes back from the dead? Why, Why Why?
No matter how many times I have tried to Hide it it comes back again. The only way to send it packing is to disable it from the Regional Settings. But I think this will be painful for everyone who installs Windows Vista outside of US if the Language Bar shows up by default.

Language Bar - Never Die's!
Try this if you haven't already :o) Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages tab > Click "settings" > Language Bar tab > "Hidden".
Apply, OK, then Apply then OK again. Hopefully that should fix it :o)

I'm sure that once you right click on the Language bar in the taskbar, click Close then you've got the option to never show it again though?
