Well XP I can use the Japanese IME but there is no way I am aware of to
change the operating system language. So that basically limits the
capabilities to reading / writing text. You wouldn't have your menus,
buttons, texts, icons, etc. in a different language.

Kubuntu...I can use the IME and I can switch the entire operating system to
any language I want, at any moment I want, in real-time with a single mouse
click and don't even need to reboot as often as I want all day long.

Well if it starts with "You have to buy ultimate..." I don't doubt it.

I don't doubt that either.
