To a much lesser effect, I find it true in Israel as well. I recently bought an iPad for my mom as she uses the computer just for browsing, emailing and skype. Turns out that even now, two websites she frequents (a workers' committee website and some state sponsored mutual fund website) are IE only and in a way that they truly don't work otherwise.
- brazzy 14y agoAFAIK Microsoft dominates in Israel because for the longest time their products had (and maybe still have) the best support for RTL text.
- astrodust 14y agoDon't confuse "best" with "traditionally used". I've always found OS X to have much better support for internationalization than Windows ever has, but it's non-traditional.
- maayank 14y agoIn my experience this is still true... I still haven't found a word processor/presentation software for Mac OS X (including Office 2011) that is compatible with my university's word and ppt files. Moreover, the ministry of education is a big costumer of MSFT, giving kids and teenagers early exposure to MS tools (think the 90s, where not every kid had a computer at home).
