These files are not on the Mac as individual files. The reason they
show up on the 'doze machine is that the Mac filesystem stores
additional data about each file (the "Resource fork"), which no other
filesystem supports.
On the contrary, they ARE on the Mac.

This is a partial listing of the root directory of my Mac.
See the .DS_Store, .Trashes files?
The only files missing are the ._<filename> files which correspond to
the resource fork of applications. Those are created on any non-HFS
filesystem.
