Windows in Quechua

Blue Screen of Death is "Anqas Toqu millay" - Filthy Blue Window is the best I could do. Microsoft releases language support for Quechua, one of the native languages spoken in Bolivia. Probably to less fanfare than they expected.
"We congratulate Microsoft for having facilitated the use of computers in our own languages, but we have to advance towards systems that are more open because we still have to pay a license fee (to use the software) to Microsoft," Bolivia's Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca said.
Curiously, there are also efforts to make translations available for linux and gnome.

Just be happy that native South Americans are not being oppresed any more by Spanish/hispanic dominant culture and language. What have you done for your fellow Bolivians who yearn for their proud language and culture not being insulted?...
