g> Win98 in Hebrew in coming in about 2 months according to M$.
g> How about we organise something similar? ;-)
g> Protest that fact the M$ has not updated Win95 in Hebrew for years...

Some unpleasant things to say.

Well, so to be honest we also should protest:
 - the fact that Netscape is totally ignoring hebrew
 - the fact that no GPL GUI toolkit and no GPL environment has support for
Hebrew or mentions it somehow
 - the fact that Linux Hebrew HOWTO is last updated on September 1995 and
is severly lacking
 - the fact that there's almost no way to make descent word processing and
printing on Linux in Hebrew - at least no documented way, and most of us
are too busy for month-long research

If anyone has spare time for such a protest - why not to donate it to
Linux and write a piece of code that corrects one or more of this
problems? 

Before we have all mentioned above corrected, we have no moral right to
protest anything Microsoft does on Hebrew market. To protest, one should
have better things to show, to provide alternative. Where's Linux Hebrew
alternative?
