Please to say "localization".
Microsoft _still_ does not do true internationalization. They
localize for regional customs, but all of their "internationalization"
is done effectively with LC_ALL=BORGTOWN. We do not want to emulate
that.
UI they do pretty well, considering they're constrained to
one-size-fits-all. I hope we can do better in providing variety, but
emulating their UI as one option gives us a pretty good base. I
personally would hate to see it as default :-) but it's probably not a
bad default.
