I have read in a couple of different articles that one of the major
differences between OO and SO is that the latter will provide much wider
East Asian language support. I will be curious to see about this when
the official version of SO is released.

I have been using OO641 for about two months, and I can input Japanese
in Mandrake 8.1 if I am in Japanese locale, pretty much the same as with
other applications--meaning that the IME itself is kind of primitive,
but there is no special problem with 00 itself.
