Great! They finally got around to updating some more African nations.

I hate how it takes so long for Africa to get the basic updates that practically the whole world receives before they finally pull some resources to do something for Africa. Not just Microsoft, but many companies. Sure, it's not as well developed, but technology should still be fairly updated for this continent.
