Wah, good. Thanks wei for the answer.

I am still undecided... to fork out 5K for a Macbook or just 3-4K for other brand.

i use PinYin on mac to type chinese character, but it still not as good as windows xp's
xp can detect 我們 if you type 'wm' only, and spacebar to insert those characters. however you will need to press return button in mac os x to insert a word, one more . must type 'wo' return then 'men' return to have 我們. take longer time.

if anyone found a solution tell me

Hi all,

Is there any free app that has equivalent functionality as Mac OS X 10.5's "Spaces"?
I find it really useful for productivity.
Hope someone can recommend any. Thanks.  biggrin.gif
