I agree with Jonathan. The Ansi is not quite the default anymore,
maybe for some old documentation or old code. Unicode is the
default encoding when you create a new project in Visual Studio,
in samples they use a lot the TCHAR/LPTSTR-Macros (sometimes the
wstring). And is clear that you _should_ use the W APIs (directly
or through UNICODE define) or you are later in trouble.
