@BPS: probably because Chinese Windows has much better translation. Frankly, for a computer novice, linux distro is not that user friendly yet.

hoy… why there’s no comment when MS brought to the world Windows in Chinese? I am not against Microsoft or Windows… but from my experience, people tends to say that they can’t get more experience because Windows is in English. When they have the oppoturnity to have BM interface, all they can say is “wierd”, “pelik”, “kelakar”, “padam”, “tak biasa” an so on. People especially the Malays should use this oppoturnity to strenghthen their ‘usage’ of computers.

For those who do not want to spend around RM100.00 to get Windows XP Starter Edition BM, or being a cyberthief by buying RM 7.00 pirated Windows XP Starter Edition CD, you can have Linux Fedora Core 3. Fedora Core 3 has not only interface in BM, but even in Tamil. Not only that, you can install Fedora Core 3 easily using Malay based installation. Once installed, you can switch back to English, or any language that you have installed. I am writing this comment using Firefox browser on Fedora Core 3. It works just fine in English. Friends, just give yourself some time to familiarize in BM. It is unfair to judge “one day or one month of BM usage” against “years of English computer mastering”.

Sorry but I find the Malay translation of English terms very funny, maybe I’m not used to it. It’s like reading an IT technical book written in Malay, keep me laughing all the way. Sorry, but offence here, it’s just a matter of my personal preference.

This malay version is really funny but this help a lot on Microsoft market i guess. With big population from indonesia, malaysia and philipines, some of them would prefer in Malay version.
