I francesi battono MS
E’ incredibile, nel 2009, leggere ancora cose come queste:
MS Vista Capable Computer
E la realta’ e’ che l’unica lingua disponibile e’ il FRANCESE. Perche’ non il Somalo, il Rumeno o l’Arabo?
E qual’e’ la soluzione ufficiale suggerita?
There are a variety of third-party free spell-checking programs available on the Internet. You can learn about available programs by visiting the Microsoft Communities site. This site lets you obtain advice from other users and from Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs). To access the Microsoft Communities site, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

You can also use a search site to find spell-checking programs. For example, you can search for spell-checking programs at the following Web site:

Ovvero: Ripiegate su prodotti free, non MS.
Visto che non voglio passare il mio tempo cercando uno spellchecker decente, e spiegare ad una tipica signora Inglese perche’ e’ tutto diverso, ecco la spiegazione informatico-tecnico-scientifica illuminatrice ed un semplice Buddha-workaround innocuo:
Office 2007 is replacing the v.3 English Proofing Tools that shipped in prior versions of Office with a new version (v.6). There are a number of changes in this new version, but the one that is causing this problem is that Outlook Express doesn’t understand the new English Proofing Tools. This is a problem because Outlook Express has never shipped with its own proofing tools but has used the ones shipped by Office.
There are a few scenarios in which you won’t run into this problem:
- An upgrade from Office 2003 or earlier to Office 2007 RTM if you don’t manually uninstall the earlier version of Office.
- A configuration in which Office 2003 (or earlier) has not been removed.
The workaround for this problem is to install the English dictionary from Office 2003 (or Office XP). There should be no need to install all of Office just the dictionary. The English Proofing Tools can be found in the Custom Install tree under `Office Shared Features|Proofing Tools|English’.
