But Unicode for NT is such fun!
For example, the checked DbgPrint() bluescreens above DISPATCH_LEVEL if you try to print a Unicode string--the Unicode->ASCII translation tables are marked as pageable.
Since as far as I know, printk() does not have any format specifiers that cause obscure kernel panics, Linux is clearly behind in this area.
