Which of course is not good, if true at all.

Sorry, I don't understand why.
Ben do you speak another language? I mean good enough that you feel
comfortable about using it on a daily basis? We non-native english speakers
have to do it day in day out. But there are much more people in let's say
Germany that do not feel good about their english, or who even won't touch a
computer system if it's not in German, even during installation. Does that
mean these people should use M$ as they do translate everything?
