Max,
Recently, I was reading a Microsoft article boasting how their decision years ago to
include support for UNICODE has led them to the point where they can now support a
single set of binaries in Win2K. Unfornately I cannot find the exact article, but a
related one can be found at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnnews/2001/july/XPInternat/XPInternat.asp. The ability to
release a single set of binaries for all languages is not present in NT.

Wrong. Any NT version had the same Unicode support as w2k.
