Yes. If you want the Start to say whatever start is in spanish then you need to beg and hassle shop to be able to buy.
You can type in spanish, you can have regional settings set to spain (dates etc), and spanish programs will work in spanish on any language version. And you can do it whenever you feel like in the control panel - no rebooting or running setup.
But if you want XP to look spanish then you need the MUI which you must beg to be allowed to add it to your previous order, and hassle them to look in catalog as they won't know what you are talking about.
