    I was looking into this recently and I didn’t know this but NTFS is actually designed by competent people and is fully case sensitive.

    For backwards of course Microsoft had to make the file APIs case insensitive, but the actual filesystem is case sensitive.

    Also, presumably because this is a real turn-off for developers there is actually an option in Windows to sort of make specific directories case sensitive. Wild right?

      Ah, one more reason for me to despise NTFS.
