Another reason to hate MSFT…. I just bought a brand new, Acer, Windows 8 laptop. The box text, and the manuals are in English and in Russian. But you can’t install English in addition to Russian. You can use an english keyboard. But they blocked the auto update service from adding English.
Very nice. Although the irony is, that if any nation of people on earth can hack language packs it’s the russians…. I mean, the average admin chick can hack windows here. It’s just cultural knowledge. So the only people end up penalizing is people like me who speak english but want to buy windows internationally.
So what do I do? I go to a russian language site and download the hack. Just like every other person here does.
And they wonder why we hate them….. It’ s not random.
They deserve it.
