Jimmy, Windows doesn't have full multi-language support. You have to get the french version of Windows for that (again, I got the english version for free, so I'm not complaining.) Or you can change them manually. I'll do that, eventually... However, my help files will remain in english. When you set the default language to french (look the "fr" at the bottom of the screen), it just changes the keyboard settings, nothing more. And don't get me started on software translation here in Quebec... Take the game Fable, for instance. They sort of translated the manual, but not the game itself: the interface and the in-game text and dialogues are all in english. Needless to say, that wouldn't be tolerated in France. Personally, I don't like translations, but people who aren't bilingual can't play the game...

I know, Nostro. I was just teasing you

You can't be serious!

That's an absolute disgrace.

c'est pathetique.

Yet more Apple pwnage!!! har har har

I can't say its an absolute disgrace. After all, if you want your Windows to be in french, buy it in french. But I admit it would be a nice extra if it had full language support, like Mac OS X seems to have.

I've been punked! You'll be happy to see that I translated my Windows desktop, Pepe Le Pew style...

Too simple, too bland, and too horrible.

I fail to see how "simple" and "bland" are necessarily Communist.

...particularly when Fluxbox yields much greater performance than the weighty Windows or OS X.

Anyway, work computer, 14 Feb 2005.

gentoo 2.6.10-r6 with xorg-x11 6.8.2
resolution is 1280x1024-24@60.
windowmanager is fluxbox 0.9.12-r1 and the style is paper.

I especially like Laurentius´ desktop, and that *not* just because of my starguest appearance in the task bar...

Having fun with my new pc... The original was in 1280x1024. The taskbar is set to auto-hide. Old habits die hard, I guess... Btw, how do you turn off those irritating bubble help messages that pop up?

There's a registry hack, but the easier way would be to get TweakUI and click the appropriate box with that.

Clearly the mac os is the pervert's OS of choice.

You can go from this:
