Around the end of 2006, when I was explaining how Vista turns on everything, and I explained about how you could no longer turn off advanced text services in Vista, developer Kyle sent me some email to correct me on this point:
Hi Michael,
You probably did not know about the DisableCicero shim mentioned in KB822656 and KB317510. Even though it has been taken out of the user interface, you could still turn it off in your application with this shim, don't you think?
Well, I had some good news and bad news for Kyle....
The good news is that he was right; I had never heard of this shim by that name before (though I knew about the choice on the appcompat tab in the Shell properties dialog that is supported by this shim).
And the bad news is that the him was also removed in Vista, so even learning about it doesn't change anything; you still can't turn off Advanced Text Services in Vista....
Sorry Kyle! Vista is still an operating system you can't turn off!

Not all IMEs work from the console, but Chinese input is definitely possible. What is your default system locale, since this will affect the CP_OEMCP of the machine?

It is not broken on XP; there is nothing to fix there.
