"Perhaps the best known, and one of the most expensive, errors was a
colour-coded world map showing time zones, which showed the disputed
Jammu-Kashmir region as not being in India - an offence under Indian

being banned in the country, losing large sales. For its replacement,
Microsoft, Office 97, Microsoft removed the colour coding and sold
100,000 copies in India."
"The Spanish version of Windows used the word Hembra - meaning
"woman" in Spain - for choosing gender. But in some Central American
republics, notably Nicaragua, the word is an insult meaning "bitch".
The programme was changed."
