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.
5.0 is 2000 5.1 is XP 6.0 is Vista 6.1 is 7
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.
All I know is what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link told me. I do know that Darcs is usefully relying on NTFS *hard* links...
