But I asked and they rectified that also. So, in Windows and OSX, in all my programs except one, I use one Hebrew keyboard, and have done so for the last fifteen years, except for a short stint when it didn't work in Acc menus and text boxes.

The only program it doesn't work in in my experience is BW in OSX 10.6.8. Second, it is available system wide in Windows and OSX.
