Buying Computers in Germany

22 years ago

We're looking at buying a computer, but I understand that the German-language version operating systems are installed on all computers.

I don't speak German yet. How are other people getting around this? Did you buy the English-version operating system and install it after you bought the computer? Or is there a setting on the operating system that allows you to change the language? (I'm assuming we're talking about Windows XP here.) Or did you just go to the Netherlands or another country to buy a computer where you can specify the language?

Thanks in advance to anyone who has dealt w/ this already!
