What a simplistic view you have of the world. In Portugal it is impossible to
buy a computer with English Windows installed, without paying for a full
extra version. Having used this computer with the Portuguese version
installed for a couple of years, think of the consequences of changing to an
English version, and the hassle, lost data and reinstallation of the myriad
programs I have. I can cope with Portuguese Windows so far, and I was an avid
Firefox user until FF3. That downloads in English. I downloaded what I
thought was an English version of IE7, but it still gave me Portuguese
language buttons, help etc. My point was 'why'. Surely if I wanted a
portuguese version I would have gone to the Portuguese Microsoft site and
downloaded from there. I don't like the lack of choice nor assumption about
preferences. This is what drove me to Open Source in the first place, because
it was based on the will and desires of many and not the whims of a
dictatorial organisation. FF2 was streets ahead of IE in terms of speed and
ease of use, it just happens that they cocked up FF3 in relation to my
computer and I am hoping for it to settle down with use. Also XP SP3 nearly
wrecked my computer and I had to revert to SP2 which is fine.
Perhaps I'm a dinosaur!!
