This is more than aesthetics: Java likes Unicode and I like that 
approach more than making so many conversions.

Win9x is the worst OS around, but just look at 
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp and see how 
widespread it is. A programmer should support the OSes used by his 
intended audience, and a compiler should allow him to achieve this result.
