Wrong.

OS X and Linux distros include punctuation (which is not “fancy” at
all) out-of-the-box in most keyboard layouts—the user does not have to
do anything weird to get these working. The only OS missing the fun in
Windows, but bah.

Of course it is! We’re building an office suite, remember? An office
suite which has to do with typography a great lot. And even if it
didn’t, it’s supposed to demostrate a level of polish and leave a
better, lasting impression on users. They do care about these things,
I certainly do as well. Even amateurish OS X applications implement
typographic quotation marks. Recent versions of GNOME core
applications also do. Windows Store apps are also in the boat. It was
only a matter of time.
