Yup. Of course, he runs into a wall with most countries, as software 
development is stymied by porting the UI to local languages. (See 
Office-in-Hebrew lawsuits)

Linux still wins. :-) Once there is a proficient computer user who 
knows enough english (or whatever, if not english usually french, or 
maybe cantonese, etc.) terms, and wants a localized version, windows 
fails.

Linux allows, and in many projects encourages, language ports. Windows 
can't, yet (at least not at the same level).
