One of my colleagues who was with me at the conference this
week was able to talk with one of the MS engineers about the
successor to Win98. (Apparently, Win98 is not to be the end of
that line.) The understanding we got was that the limitations
related to Unicode in the Win9x line will continue, though MS
is getting a lot of pressure from developers to amend that. As
for UI controls, I'm pretty sure that they're working to
improve things. From what I've seen, MS is thoroughly committed
to Unicode at this point, though they may yet have reasons why
they are moving more slowly in Win9x than many of us wished.
