博客圈的Chris Pratley和埃塞俄比亚人欢喜！

Wow, I missed this one.  Chris Pratley is blogging.  He is the Group Program Manager for Office Authoring Services, and one of the (if not the) primary mind(s) behind OneNote.  I sat next to Chris on a plane (back from PDC?) and had a fantastic discussion (I thought, Chris probably doesn't know me from Adam) about lingustics and writing systems, particularly Asian ones as he speaks excellent Japanese if I remember correctly.  He is also the hero who allowed the programemrs to fix some breaking bugs in Word that now allow the world to write using the Ethiopian (Amharic or Ge'ez) Fidel.  I mentioned that I thought it was so cool that Microsoft cared about that language.  Turned out it was really just Chris who cared.  :) Point is, it's done and Word 2003 (and Office and Windows XP in general) are the best widely available platform for NOT speaking English.  (Remember having to install Arabic, Japanese or Chinese fonts manually!?)

哇，我错过了这个。 克里斯·普拉特利(Chris Pratley)正在写博客。 他是集团项目经理办公室编辑服务，和的一个(如果不是)主要头脑(一个或多个)后面的OneNote。 我在飞机上(从PDC回来吗？)坐在克里斯旁边，就语言学和写作系统进行了精彩的讨论(我认为，克里斯可能不认识亚当。)，尤其是亚洲人，因为他会说流利的日语。正确地。 他还是英雄，允许编程人员修复Word中的一些严重错误，这些错误现在使世界可以使用埃塞俄比亚语(阿姆哈拉语或Ge'ez)菲德尔进行书写。 我提到我以为微软很在乎这种语言真是太酷了。 原来，实际上只有克里斯在乎。 :)重点在于，它已经完成，并且Word 2003(通常是Office和Windows XP)是不讲英语的最广泛使用的平台。 (请记住必须手动安装阿拉伯，日文或中文字体！？)

Welcome Chris!

欢迎克里斯！
