Nope. Never experienced that - unless in HTML where the arrangement
must have been made by the HTML page's author. Would be a little funny
to have the buttons be tall rather than wide. :-D
BTW, Nihonjin DO also read left to right. They just leaf through books
the other way around (not always, but commonly so).

There is J-Windows 98, don't know of 2K yet. It is fully nipponized.

Go to the microsoft webpage or simply use the WindowsUpdate link they
have scattered all over a newly installed Windows. There you will find
J-support for IE, along with a couple of others. Buggy as hell, but
works, more or less.
If you understandably despise M$ try KanjiKit2000. Works _real_ global
and is much nicer. However some J-Win machines cannot read SJIS or EUC
coded messages when created using KK2K (haven't figured why yet,
haven't installed J-Win either, just been told so).
