I can't argue with that unless you are worried about the extra string space.
I don't find Unicode any more difficult to work with internally most of the
time. You just have to remember that there are two bytes per character for
buffers for CFileDialogs and things like that, but... I agree and I've
started using Unicode all the time.

Yeah, but 2005 makes it a snap to turn Unicode on and off in the properties.
I think this is a big improvement. That... and now you can have Unicode RC
files and that's a good thing too.
