Well it's always possible that later developments are coming up of which I 
am not aware, but I guess that's in software developments inevitable. But I 
guess you have different experiences than many others, and your statements 
are just as firm.

At the moment there are (as far as I know) two different standards, with 
Unionway and hangul 97 I can read both (depending on the provider) Not so 
with the Micro$oft Global IME, tried it on several computer with different 
software installed.

Don't forget that many people have to work on computers which are 
pre-installed with certain software and are not in the luxurious position 
to try out all kinds of things on different computers. So what works for 
one computer doesn't necessarily mean it works for another one. There are 
no two computers or configurations the same, since everybody installs 
his/her own preferences which invokes different DLL's being installed, 
screen savers are known problem makers, and most people install them.
