Note that Wikipedia is not exactly correct on Vista and later. See http://www.siao2.com/2008/03/25/8334796.aspx for the real story.



That page doesn't say anything about Vista or later (or I'm missing it)

Edit: I was looking at one of the sources of the Wikipedia article and mistook the tab for that post. My bad.


The Wikipedia article mentions other applications than notepad and implies IsTextUnicode was fixed in Vista.

Kaplan's blog post explains the change in Vista was actually in notepad (use a different algorithm) and IsTextUnicode was left broken, so the other applications mentioned in the Wiki page would presumably still be broken on Vista and above.
