* There are no fewer than five places where the country/language/keyboard layout must be set. With most versions of Linux it is usual for the country to be specified early in the install process, and then the user is asked to confirm this choice (instead of selecting from a long dropdown list) when it comes to specifying language, keyboard layout etc. The regional settings section is also very poorly laid out and inexperienced users (which means most people since an average user rarely performs a Windows reinstallation) often don’t realise that the country selection has to be made several times and end up with a computer set for "US English" keyboard layout even when they live outside the USA.

* The choice of default timezone setting (UTC -8, the timezone of the US state where Microsoft's head office is based), when a far more logical default option would be UTC, or even the most populous timezone of the country the computer is to be used in (which is specified earlier in the install process).

* The choice of "Letter" rather than "A4" as a default printer setting even when the installation is configured for use outside the USA (where ISO standard paper size predominate).
