Windows South African regional settings used to use a period before changing it in Windows 8 to use a comma.
Total mess while we had a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 8+ developer machines.
I don’t even know why Microsoft changed it, my theory is that some idiot academic or government worker reported to Microsoft that “officially” we use a comma, with zero regard for the fact that practically everyone used a period. Total idiot.
