Microsoft Accused of Being racist against the Japanse

news.yahoo.com — Internet Explorer 7 is now available for download in various languages including Japan. MS have also started to push out IE7 via automatic updates on a timetable that should see all languages complete shortly. HOWEVER they have for some reason decided to single out & postpone Japanese until May. Why? the only reason can be that they are racist.

  • sputza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is a crap post. There are many reasons to delay the release in Japan. Besides, maybe MS thinks the Japanese are tech savvy enough to go and download it on their own. So maybe its a compliment from MS...
  • mazerrackham, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It says right in the article:
    "it will delay pushing the new browser to users via Automatic Updates until next year because businesses have asked for more time to configure their Web sites and applications."
  • thedug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why does this matter?
    because it means that the Japanese are still held back in surfing the internet naturally, and being unable to utilise long awaited International Domain Names so that they can have domain names and website addresses in their own language. Something that has been long awaited for native surfers.

    MS you've always sucked. Now you suck and you have shown your true colors, and it is white - through and through.
