Dear Sasi
I understand all you said but my comparison to typewriter with computer was only about the Keyboards.
I know some softwares indian fonts work similar to malayalam typewriter keyboards which are dtp centers using for malayalam typesetting but the unicode fonts are based on 26 alphabets of english. Unicode fonts with Free softwares suppose to be the next generation common man's way of using malayalam on computer isn't it?

In my humplest opinion either we have to see this as a threat to the existing malayalam and its alphabetical order. or this is a radical change in re-organising malayalam alphabets.

Same time I think we need to creat an environment forcing the Microsoft to introduce all its products in Malayalam. Microsoft Arabic can be a best example. They even have a Arabic-English enabled Windows. So one person can use the english version and on same computer others can do it in arabic.

Computer can already work better than a Malayalam typewriter. It is
possible to write Malayalam in many applications so that, for instance,
you can create a document in Malayalam with pictures and tables. It is
possible to create a spreadsheet file or a database in Malayalam. You
can write in Malayalam in a picture you are editing. Moreover, you can
have English, Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil and other languages in the same
document, whether it is a text document, a picture or whatever. Right
now, Malayalam characters may not be most ideally displayed in all
applications, but this will improve.
