I think we will compete and release our version of Linux in England. At least they speak English there or so I am told, although they talk a bit funny. It appears they have never learned to talk it right although they do write it well. Of course that is, if you can penetrate the slang. I booted my Linux box and set KDE up in Catalan if you can believe it! I couldn't understand a thing. Wonderful. Now we know that MS does not do that! I would do Germany but I figure SUSE has that sown up and Moscovites haven't the money to pay for it so that's a waste. The trouble with China is you sell one copy and then they are everywhere. Unless you ship with viruses intact on the CD, it will never wash. If they have to come to you to get the bugs out, they won't buy anything but the shrink wrapped version. I learned this from Lotus one two three. EC<:-}
