I was doing some development on the Fujitsu F1100 for Docomo. Well, actually, I was more along the lines of handling some of the translation (I still have the original translations on my computer, and they are cringe-worthy - "Vicarious execution input was registered.", for example) My boss was one of the hardest-working people I ever met. I'll call her "A" for short, and she worked herself to tatters, trying to get the system working for their purposes. I never heard her complain, but on a quiet day I did get a chance to take up the case with a drunk subordinate of hers who pretty much told me the real deal - Microsoft Japan was simply not offering any helpful support, and the "paid support" they offered often ended with them hanging up half way through. I don't know if there is a back channel to Microsoft or someone reading that cares, but for God's sake if there is, and you want to hear what the problem with the Japanese market is, please just email me. I'll do it for free, I just don't want "A" to be fucking working 8 AM-10 PM every day because of something that I KNOW isn't something that Microsoft wants.
