Two posts already and no Godwin's law invocation. OK, here goes:

Microsoft's obvious anti-Semitism, demonstrated clearly by their refusal to support Hebrew in Mac Office products, belies an obvious similarity to the Nazi party.

In the interest of fairness, however, Office:Mac doesn't support Arabic, either.

It IS just good business

Otherwise, Microsoft would have to cater to other languages with smaller populations as well. Logically, if Apple doesn't provide support, adding support in the MS product doesn't make sense, either.

I'm betting that there's a larger clientele than Hebrew out there. It's an artificial language, and is growing pretty fast, based on some stats (yes, yes, I know--lies, damned lies, and statistics).

Klingon. It's not widespread as Esperanto, but much hotter.

I bet the Cut/Copy/Paste commands in Klingonnase would be more proactive...like...

From your sig:

You have good knowledge of UNIX and a girlfriend. Not many people can say that.

Luckily, I can! And I can speak a little Klingon!
