Re: symlink support for Linux subsystem

I should clarify : NTFS has supported junctions for a long time.

They are used in Vista and later as part of the base install, can't remember them being used before then. i.e.

C:\Users>dir /ah

Volume in drive C has no label.

Volume Serial Number is EE29-AD12

Directory of C:\Users

22/08/2013 15:45 <SYMLINKD> All Users [C:\ProgramData]

06/08/2015 20:52 <DIR> Default

22/08/2013 15:45 <JUNCTION> Default User [C:\Users\Default]
