It is funny you use the word "morons" as Microsoft Windows do 
NOT support symlinks. What they do support is shortcuts - which 
is not to be mistaken for a symlink.
I would like to see you do a command like "edit 
short_cut_file.lnk" and compare that to a "edit short_cut_file" 
that isnt a link. Short cuts are just that - a shortcut for the 
Microsoft Windows desktop enviroment to let the user have "easy" 
access to files.

Programming wise there is a huge difference in how to 
handle "Microsoft shortcuts" compared to how we handle symlinks.

Just my two cents worth
