Vista To Get Symlinks?

TheRealSlimShady writes “According to a post by Ward Ralston on the Windows server team’s weblog, Vista server is to get symlinks as part of the SMB2 protocol.” From the post: “In Vista/Longhorn server, the file system (NTFS) will start supporting a new filesystem object (examples of existing filesystem objects are files, folders etc.). This new object is a symbolic link. Think of a symbolic link as a pointer to another file system object (it can be a file, folder, shortcut or another symbolic link).”
