The problem is quite simple here:
BM supports stone age windows (Win98 / ME)
Good thing many might think.
Bad thing here is that both only support Unicode through an extra patch and Win98 even only if you had the SE or updated to it. As both are abandonned you can't get this patch any further.
Without that, unicode aware software just bombs out. (experience from Torque, annoying and hard to overcome. Either you have UC or you don't have it, point)
If BM was simply put up to Windows 2000 minimum requirements (heck it asks for OSX 10.3 which would mean WinXP on the Windows side), adding unicode would be less of a problem.
