Vista has (on NTFS, but who actually uses FAT for the hard disks these
days?), and uses them to fix the issues around the localisation of User and
Program directories, eg. in German Windows Vista, "Programme" is a symlink
to "Program Files", "Dokumente und Einstellungen" is a symlink to "Users",
for backward compatibility to older naming conventions while providing more
consistency now.
