Jordan, I think you're missing the point by a pretty far distance here. You responded to Lars's comments about the late security patches in localized Windows with three points, starting with pointing out that (1) Windows 2000 ships in different languages rather than a single multi-language version, which is of course part of the problem, not the solution. Then you point out that (2) Windows can render text with Unicode, which is like saying that because GDI can display any RGB color, Windows is colorizable. Finally, you say that (3) there is a "separate multi-language version of Windows 2000." While I'm not intimately familiar with this, I would immediately wonder whether it is true that a user can "view the interface in the preferred language." Remember, at the antitrust trial, Microsoft defined the Operating System as pretty much whatever software Microsoft bundles with Windows. Does the multi-language version really change the language used in Explorer, the System Admin tools, and all of the documentation? I doubt it.
So regarding your question, Sounds kind of like what you were claiming the product just couldn't do in your post, doesn't it?...
No. Not much, although your comments did have some of the same words in them.
