Come to think of it, I'm not sure if the patch is correct for Windows, as PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault() appears to do strict MBCS decoding by default (similarly with PyUnicode_FSConverter() for encoding). Can Windows return service names that won't decode with MBCS? Or does it use a different encoding? I don't have a system to experiment with.
