    I wouldn't describe it as a "critical" update though :)

    it removes old asian symbols that some people find objectionable. - Freedom of speach and all that.

    It leaves behind lots of muslim/jewish/christian/occult symbols which are of course unacceptable to many muslim/jewish/christian/occult users

    Win95 used to have a nifty utility to choose your time zone by clicking on your country. Dropped 'cos of possiblility of upsetting someone in case a boarder was out by a pixel :rolleyes:
    I reckon the fact that many US users probably don't know geography also helped it's demise.
