Windows XP can add the basic ability to read/write Korean (or other double byte languages like Chinese/Japanese). The English version of Windows XP can also add the Multi User Input pack which can install a Korean update which gives you 95% of the features of a Windows XP (Korean) installation and can allow you to run Korean software.
If you just want to easily read/write Korean then you may want to check Twinbridge’s software.
