If it's anything like the NTFS solution to symbolic links, their term is 'junction', then it's likely worse than you think. ;)
NTFS has true symlinks as at ntoskrnl 6.0.
I don't know my Windows releases by their kernel sorry. However, with Windows 7 you cannot symlink a directory on the C drive to a directory on a drive connected via firewire using inbuilt tools or the junction utility from the Microsoft site. I found a KB article while trying that stated it was a known limitation. If this, and several other edge cases that you'd use symlinks for, has been resolved since Windows 7 then my comment is no-longer valid. Edward
