It looks like Windows Vista (Longhorn) may now support proper symbolic links on files as well as directories. A simple API allows links to be created.

    Hopefully this will be an improvement over the exisiting hardlink feature which breaks as soon as any copy of the file is edited by an application that deletes before saving changes.
