MS does not understand UNIX symbolic link

@dbtx: "MS does not understand UNIX symbolic link. Even if they do, Windows does not come with sane replacement for the same, and [software that depends on] it might not work predictably in the vicinity of their reimagined, NTFS-integrated substitute"

Some time ago someone asked me to fix their Windows laptop which could not update as their was a stuck corrupt file in the update folder and Windows refused to delete it. So I booted a live CD and deleted the file, except it went back up the tree and deleted Windows, necessitating a total reinstall, my reputation never recovered.
