Hi, As simple user I don't agree. Indeed, firstly with utf8 systems it is hard to communicate with Windows world, and it's however necessary in daily life. Moreover, for users which come from Windows, it would mean accents problems ... and it's impossible to convert thousands of old files into utf8 (names and/or contents): dangerous and long. So I think it's necessary to maintain iso, which works fine until now, even if sometimes workarounds (orca) and adaptations (OOo) are necessary.
