Breaking? Mac OS X in Russian

Haven’t seen this posted anywhere else, so might as well break the news here: The Mac OS X version currently shipping with the latest Macs, 10.4.8 build 8N1037, features a full Russian localization. I think this is the first new localization Mac OS X has seen since at least 10.1, bringing the total to 15.

I kind of expected either Arabic or Hebrew to be next, but I guess the system isn’t that ready for right-to-left yet.

What's weird is that older Macs don't get that. No software updates, nothing. Though latest updates for iLife and such are also Russian.
Guess we'll have to wait for Leopard.

Interesting. I can see "ru" in iPhoto and iTunes (a surprise to me to be honest) but haven't been able to confirm this for the Finder.
Shouldn't this also mean that Apple Russia is coming soon? :)
