afaik windows is unicode below the surface so the problem is not in the operating system; it's user dicipline which counts; also, in about 10 years file systems have become databases anyway 

btw, os and filesystem is one things .. in this internet time i run onto those %20 escaped named more and more and these are even worse (and for tex systems not that handy either -)
