Microsoft's Macintosh chief Kevin Browne has responded to our questions. He urges users to contact the Mac team, providing an email, and suggests that Microsoft can't make much more headway with right-to-left support before Apple provides the necessary support in the operating system. Browne says that previous experiments with third parties providing localization have "not been successful".
Over the last couple of days we've heard from various sources that MacOS X 10.2 will include right to left support. One of these is reliable. But Browne reaffirms that Hebrew support isn't on the To-Do List.
Here's Kevin's reply in full. We also heard from Dov Cohen, the Israeli Mac user who sparked the AntiTrust complaint. Dov hadn't seen Kevin's comments, so don't regard it as a direct response, but both emails on the same subject arrived on the same day.
