- you can't use the libc printf to print unicode chars, the format is
  not the same
- WideCharToMultiByte can output several characters for a single
  unicode char, you need to take that into account for buffer sizes
- you cannot cast a WCHAR* into a CHAR* to convert the format to ASCII
- there's no point in using strncat if you don't pass it the real size
  of the buffer
- please don't copy code from MSDN, it is copyrighted by Microsoft.
