So for filenames you can have mixed chinese, japanese, arabic, deutch, etc. What you can't have is support for programs that are using the "default" system encoding, wich was standard back then in the era windows 95/98. This was an design oversight back then, and was solved since windows 2000. That's why you can't open at the same time, a program designed to be used in the chinese "default" locale, and a program designed to be used in the japanese "default" locale. One of them will show correctly (if you set the default for non-unicode for one) and the other no. Also this makes possible to work with files with non-unicode characters on it.

I have beening using this methode since windows 2000. The problem is when you have to deal with Big5 and GB non-unicode programs at same time, one of them will not show properly. i.e. need to go for unicode asap :) This was possible since windows 2000. and to the least any version of Vista can do it.

In XP and Vista Home you can also do that. The problem is that you can only choose one specific non-Unicode language. Using different user accounts does not solve the problem either! Silly Windows!
