Problems with Persian

[Nathalie]

I'm trying to get in touch with people at MS about these issues. Let's see how it goes.

I just joined the forum. I got a Mac Book pro about a month ago.I had lots of trouble in the password fields ??? if I type my password in Persian/Farsi it switches automatically in to English??? it is really hard to have any password in another script because simply Mac doesn't recognize it. I bought cross over to use explorer it still didn't work and I have to say it was a waste of time and money??? my next question is if I install the XP windows on my machine it will act as if it was windows machine? or still will give me hard time in Persian script???
Thanks

You should have tried it first.
Many applications have a demo option.

As for installing XP, once its in, it will be running in a native form.
The only concern is Direct X on some methods.
Make sure to read on the different methods on the appropriate messages.

As for the password problem, I would recommend keeping it that way.
That will protect your system from a Dictionary Attack, since the words don't exist in Farsi or English.

I don't know anything about Farsi on Mac, but... I don't understand why the password issue is a big deal, just write passwords in Latin alphabet, won't that work? What is it you need IE for? To get to IE only web sites? If Cross Over doesn't do it for you, then try Parallels or Fusion.
