Given how far behind the Windows support of the Indo-European languages
was compared to X - I don't buy the explanation.

It is still easier to type German or French under X windows with a UK
keyboard - than brave the MS way.

I'm guessing Japanese techies don't care as much for some reason.

As I said time to kick the Tokyo LUG list.

I got the impression that Kanji future is in doubt because it just isn't
as powerful a method for writing a language, although I guess technology
just reveals the difference more and more - remember those old Chinese
typewriters with hundreds of keys.
