I agree. We should start planning changes to the website without making 
them on the fly according to the opinions of a single person.

Marketing has nothing to do with languages. There are markets where 
people speak more than one language, and languages that span over the 
boundaries of countries. Marketing has to do with markets, which often 
correspond to countries, but sometimes are smaller or larger.

The discussion was about having marketing by geography, and not about 
how this should be reflected in the website. This is probably a subject 
to be discussed, because so far we have focused the efforts on specific 
issues and not on a comprehensive "go to market" strategy.

When we talk about normal users, i.e. non technical people used to 
Windows, they think that the only email program is Outlook, the only web 
browser is IE, and so on. Unfortunately, these users are close to 75% of 
all users.
