Holy shit! Windows XP does UTF-8 just like any other OS known to man! How amazing!!! Windows XP's innovation never seizes to amaze me.

The author thinks it's really cool to name his hard drives with Chinese characters - just like it WAS cool to have them tattooed on your skin a decade or more ago. Oh well better late then never I guess... (roll eyes)

The problem is how bad the implementation of Unicode in Windows.

It will happen one day you have a file name with Simpified chinese and Tradtional chinese character, as well we Japaness type chinese with Japanese words and Korean symbols........ Windows then messed it up. So bad that you can no longer get back the file.

Wow yes, the prettiness can certainly make all the "crash and boot" routine much more pleasant because... heck, it's pretty?

Umm so this is such a big thing because... Windows 2000 couldn't do it? Cause we on this side of the front had it for a while now...

Oddly, my dictionary (Wenlin 3.0, using John DeFrancis' ABC Chinese-English Dictionary) has "remain poor and clean at retirement (of officials)" as an idiomatic meaning of ?? along with the more familiar meaning of "cool breeze." I wonder what that means?
