Yeah, but they suck.  You need to download a third-party tool to use
them, for starters.  Secondly, almost nothing written for Windows even
knows about them, not even *Explorer*, so it's impossible to tell if
something is a link or not.  And of course, they can't span drives.

I'm fairly sure that one version of Windows could only hard-link
folders, but not files.  Not sure if that was 2k or XP.

I once planned on using hard links to make migrating stuff between
drives easier.  Obviously I couldn't do that, but what really scared me
was when I realised that deleting the link deleted the original as well;
I just backed away slowly, avoiding eye contact.

Vista has, I believe, *proper* symlinks... but then I'm moving to Linux
before I touch Vista with a 50ft barge pole, so I don't care :)
