If you purchase Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, then you can install an additional 30 foreign language packs and switch seamlessly among different languages on the same computer for different users. I find this to be a key advantage because I graduated with a degree in Linguistics and I studied foreign languages.
Now if they could just come up with an easier way of generating IPA characters, we'll be in business. I know that third party solutions probably exist, but OSX has much more robust support for this sort of thing OOB than any version of Windows. Transcription is a pain, even using those web pages with all the symbols laid out. I'd much rather have a simpler method involving a keyboard than clicking around on a screen or else memorizing arcane Unicode codes.
