Ah, we can still be opinionated bastards anyway. :)

Trivia, from the paper:

"Finally, the /dev namespace is a public directory holding symbolic links to
ServiceProviderContract endpoints in the /hardware/drivers subtree. In
this manner,
an application can be bound to a public name, without knowing the true
name of the driver."

Just randomly caught my eye for three reasons:

 - /dev seems awfully Unixish
 - nice to see forward slashes as path delimiters in a Microsoft OS
(other than Xenix)
 - are there symbolic links in any other Microsoft OSes?
