Been there. It's not simple hard links though.
What they have is not just hard links. It's a non-realtime scanner that
computes signatures for all files on disk and then makes hardlinks for
duplicate files. The hard link isn't permanent -- any of these files
gets a new copy when modified. The idea is to cut down on space lost to
frequently duplicated but rarely modified files. The /etc/skel directory
for example.
This is a feature that Linux file-systems could benefit from. It's not
something to be laughed at.
