Arcane Jill writes My next OS will be a Mac.
Before you rush off to the nearest Mac showroom:
Michael Everson 25/11/03 wroteMicrosoft Office on OS X does not support Unicode. Quark XPress on OS X does not support Unicode. Adobe InDesign on OS X does not support Unicode inputting via keyboard, and doesn't shape Devanagari properly. Eudora on OS X does not support Unicode.
These companies have work to do if their products are to be Unicode-enabled for Mac OS X. It is frustrating.
Do ***NOT*** quote me as a reason not to buy a Macintosh.
Using a Macintosh is a joy. Unicode support at the OS level is strong and stable. That Microsoft, Quark, Adobe, and Qualcomm have work to do to allow their customers to take advantage of the richness Apple provides us is *their* challenge. And when they do, using a Macintosh will be even more of a pleasure than it is now.
