Interview with Microsoft Internationalization Guy Michael Kaplan

Written by Patrick Hall, December 30th, 2005

I’m a bit of a Linux freak myself, but I’m a big fan of Microsoft internationalization guy Michael Kaplan.

A few weeks ago Robert Scoble did a video interview with him for Channel 9:

Michael Kaplan - Bringing Windows Vista to International markets

I was happy to learn about the keyboard layout tool he created for Windows users. (Need to try that…)

Michael also has a great blog at Sorting It All Out. Naturally he often blogs about Windows-related stuff, but not exclusively — he knows Unicode like the back of his hand, and anybody who ends up futzing around with funny languages all day, well… the current blogger is automatically a fan. ☺
