Perhaps Microsoft is not aware of the needs of non-Korean people.
Koreans use a layout rooted in a variant of a mechanical typewriter in
which one keystroke corresponds to one Korean alphabet.

Roughly speaking, "kamsa hamnida" is how 감사합니다 is pronounced, and
"gamsa habnida" is how it is written.  You do not expect an `English
input method' to translate "inuf" to "enough", or a Japanese input
method to translate "tokyo" to "toukyou".

Take a look at http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/stestu.html#T6.4.2
