More hatefully, it is possible to create files on a windows filesystem

Not to mention that on NTFS the filename depends on the subsystem you
are using to access it. From the POSIX subsystem (and Interix), it's
case sensitive, but from Win32 it's case-preserving but case-
insensitive.
So from the Posix subsystem you can create files that appear to have
different contents when read from the Win32 side.
