Finally see the light and migrate from XP to Windows 8.1 (€120 in Germany vs $200 in the USA, strangely enough…).

Localise it with the English language pack and….immediately get confronted with a welcome screen in …….German.

Better still, all the system alerts telling me how important it is to install this security update and that patch are also in….German.

Just what do they think they’re doing…?
