Windows Vista and Symbolic Links
It seems like Microsoft learned yet another thing from the *nix world – symbolic links 
A file system feature many have considered missing from NTFS, the symbolic file link (or as it’s called in UNIX, the soft link) finally arrives in Windows Vista. The Windows 2000 version of NTFS introduced symbolic directory links, called directory junctions, which allow you to create a directory that points at a different directory, but until the Windows Vista version, NTFS has only supported hard links for files.

Hard links have been available in Windows NT series (NT, XP, 2003) for years. The only problem is that they were… not available in Explorer. I used them extensively, but from the text-based Far Manager.
