In the end, yes. But for now, native support for those Unicode characters is
only provided in Windows Vista and similarly recent operating systems from
other vendors. Windows XP does provide limited support for the new characters
as well starting with SP2, although it typically renders them using a specific
font (the result being that text looks a bit awkward -- "crâșmăriță" for
instance would highlight the issue for Windows XP users; compare
"crâşmăriţă"). Older operating systems from Microsoft do not provide
support at all for the proper symbols. What's more, Windows Vista is the first
operating system from Microsoft that provides native support for writing using
these symbols.

Given all of the above, many of us in the Romanian community think that full
transition to the correct diacritical signs is premature at this point.
However, I believe we could reach consensus for a solution like the one shown
here, sooner rather than later; in addition, this will most probably be an
intermediary step at some point anyway.
