Yeah, it will take a while. These things happen in milestones that could
be years apart. But I suppose Microsoft will continue to make the
resources available on its end as Windows and Office go through their
own sets of upgrades, as long as the local group is willing to go along.
Eventually there will be few technical issues remaining, and upgrades to
translations will reach a predictable level, probably about 15% of the
overall word count will change across major releases, so the
translation/localization effort will become predictable.

I don't have time to dig up the info myself right now, but perhaps
someone here can explain why there are issues with Unicode-based
Inuktitut currently with the latest XP? Is it that Uniscribe doesn't
support the rendering? Search/sort algorithms fail? Something else?

Best,
