Designest: Wise OS

Wise OS

Unlike Windows, Mac OS X recognizes Iran as a Persian region. You can set your language to Persian and not "Farsi" which is wrong and is being used by Microsoft. I am really glad to see my country in the Persian region, in the international customization panel, not deleted from the countries list! Apple used the word "Persian" since a long ago, while Bill Gates still uses "Farsi".

Microsoft people are just illiterate! But I'm sure some stupid Iranian is behind this mistake. I have seen some Iranian Americans who call themselves "Persian" but call their language "Farsi". How stupid is that? By the way I wonder why Afghanestan has 3 keyboard layouts!! Have you noticed that?
