Josh, as Terri has said, and I tried to impart in my response, Microsoft has
dealt with this issue for years. Bill Gates is left-handed. An example is
Microsoft can set this up for $50,000 investment for research, development
and adjustments on its current programs and operating systems.

The other software companies around the world would need to spend millions
or billions of dollars to revamp/rewrite their software to comply.

Guess what the prudent approach is Microsoft has chosen to take until the
Longhorn timeframe?
