How true!

I'm in favour of rewriting this line completely. The software mentioned
is a bit old and only supports junctions. Vista supports real symlinks,
as in unix based systems, next to junctions and hardlinks. The software
which handles this better is "hardlinkshellext", which you can find on
http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html. Much
better than the proposed one from M$. This piece of software will give
the symlink option only in Vista, not Windows XP or other versions,
because they don't support symlinks, only junctions

But besides this change, +1
