However, the fact that Windows demanded wide strings helped a lot. An entire generation of programmers has grown up without necessarily thinking that "String" == "char[]" == "array of single bytes".


To nit pick- it didn't. Every WinAPI function call that takes text has 2 versions- FooW and FooA. W takes wide chars, A takes ASCII.

And for that matter the A doesn't take ASCII, but rather ANSI/Oem strings (or as some people describe "A means not Wide characters" ;-), which IIRC includes multibyte strings.
