| With built in support for over 60 scripts, hundreds of languages, and 126 locales, every language version (and each flavor) of Windows 2000 provides unprecedented support for international and multilingual computing. Above all, the international feature set of Windows 2000 satisfies two key customer requirements by: |
 |
- Enabling global communication, allowing users to edit content in any language and to work in any given language.
- Simplifying the deployment, maintenance and support of different language releases of the operating system worldwide, reducing the complexity and overall cost of ownership.
Windows XP expands this global support and brings – for the very first time – multilingual computing support into the client space and home computing.
