Anyone who loves Winblows blindly must be a BORG from the MS Collective.
Just when I was beginning to like Win 7, I was smacked down and rudely reminded how just and absolute file of feces the OS and company is!
I purchased and installed the Professional version.
Not "Basic Home" or "Home", the Pro version.
I wanted to in stalled Japanese Language support on my computer, you know, the ability type Japanese on documents only (not make the entire system Japanese).
It tells me I need either the "Ultimate" or "Enterprise" version.
SAY WHAT?????????
$129 MORE just so I can write in different languages????
In fact, that is ALL the Ultimate has, more languages (well, ok, it also has some kind of encryption too)
I have the most foul thoughts running though my head.
For the last 15 years ALL Macintosh has full language support (OS 9 too), and iOS supports all the major ones too. I am sure even Android and Linux has excellent language support, but for MickyShaft, its an additional $129
That company deserves to go away. Perhaps then the MS slaves can try something, ANYTHING else, and realize simply how terrible Microsuck is.
(OK, ok, I did not see if Win8 include languages, but I think on XP it was an included on disk.)
/rant rant rant
UPDATE:
I was misspelling the world "Tokyo" into computer.
Tokyo is the common English spelling.
If you want to type it using a US keyboard, it is ToUkyoU.
(Actually, I did know I needed extra characters, but didn't know it was two U's)
FYI: OOsaka and KyotoU are other cities.
What surprised me was in Win7, it only gave me Kana alternates, no Kanji at all. On a Mac it does offer Kanji alternatives, even if they are not the Kanji I wanted.
The MS help site said I needed "LIP" to have Language support, only on Ultimate and Enterprise. What MS is not clear about is the ability to change the entire system to different language. Text entry is still supported.
Yes, I was making a mistake, and my opinion of Win7 is much better.
Now the Microsoft help site, that is different matter.
