Why in Madrid, Spain, you can not find an English Operating System (Vista)?
All computers, laptops, gadgets, even Norton 360, one cannot have the option of buying an English version, of any Operating System. If they are part of the Schengen Agreement, they should be open to English Idioms. Goodness! even the theathers! all in Spanish! Everything is translated to Español, for heaven's sake!

Answer 1 :
Because the Operating System of any computer depends on what country it is BUILT FOR... and it has ALWAYS been that way... 25 years ago, I had the FRENCH and the SPANISH versions of DOS which I picked in those countries and the I would load them on computers of my friends in the U.S. as a practical joke on April 1st. It's a moot point, anyway, because ALL keyboards have the ASCII text characters BUILT INTO THEM... and you can access them by holding down the Alt key and typing in a 2 digit number on the NUMERIC KEYPAD... so you can't do it on a lap top, but you can type almost any language on a standard keyboard. Try holding down the alt key and key in 138 then release the alt key. You DO know that European Keyboards are PHYSICALLY different from AmeriKan keyboards, I assume. The European system is AVORAK and the AmeriKan system is QWERTY.
Answer 2 :
Everything is in Spanish because it is in Spain... If you were in Germany, I wouldn't be surprised if everything was in German
