Michael was the leading source on i18n, L10N, Unicode, sorting, normalisation and other things having to do with languages, representations and writing.
Besides that he was a really nice guy of which I enjoyed his MSDN materials.
Other people enjoy that too, so I’m glad his writings have been archived: [first archive.is, second archive.is, WayBack] Sorting it All Out: Archives
