I fully agree with this, because is much more important to provide the
best DesktopCD/LiveCD experience to all users (not only english
speaking) to raise posibility they want to install the LiveCD on
harddisk.

I doesn't make sense to provide software for Windows (Firefox,
Thunderbird...) for only english users (for all others - maybe the
most of users - it is absolutely useless). Another point is, that
these applications are very easily available on mozilla.com in users
language. And maybe the most important point is, that DesktopCD will
*NEVER* provide these applications in their actual (updated - the most
secure) versions.

There are *many reasons*, why providing *better* LiveCD experience
also for non-english speaking users *should have very higher priority*
than providing *outdated* software for Windows and *only for English
speaking users*.
