Sorry, but while I agree the MICROS~1 pejorative can be a bit juvenile
and uncalled for, your assertion that 8.3 filenames are a thing of the
past is incorrect. If browsing an installation CD or the contents of
your local drive isn't enough to raise a few questions ...
[george at XP] # regtool list '/HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/FileSystem'
NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation
Win31FileSystem
Win95TruncatedExtensions
The default value for NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is 0.
Obviously, there's reasons for that, but this is one of those situations
where an admonition of "Go ahead and laugh -- it's funny!" might be
appropriate.
