It isn't true, nationalized Win95 versions actively use it.
F.e. Win95 Russian Edition use Russian (CP866) names
for many folders/files.
There is yet one interesting thing: DOS national charset
used, not Windows one. For Russian Windows charset (CP1251)
is different with DOS one (CP866). So Win95 does special efforts
to convert between charsets.
