Re: benefits of unicode

[Michael \(michka\) Kaplan]

Ah, well the point in this case is that going forward, Microsoft has made a
specific decision to make sure that new languages do not use the "backwards
compatibility" mechanism of default system code pages. This does indicate
that Unicode is no longer just a feature in an application, it is pretty
much a requirement unless you are the sort of company that does not want to
accept money from people in other locales who would otherwise be inclined to
scribble out a check.

I wish they had done it five years ago, myself. But they really did not have
the architecture in place, or the tools really.
