Its only skin deep, yes the windows common dialogs will follow them as will the windows shell, but those are about the only things that do.

with unix symlinks i can use the standard file handling apis on a path that contains a symlink and not have to know or care about the fact the item is a link, you certainly can't do that with windows shortcuts.
