NTFS does support hard links since version 5, which means Windows
2000+. It does not support hard links to directories though, only soft
links (which are called junctions or junction points). The version of
NTFS shipped with Vista supports hard links for directories I believe.

POSIX systems don't allow hard links to directories, either, in practice::

  $ man ln
  ...
   -d, -F, --directory
allow the superuser to attempt to hard link  directories  (note:
will  probably  fail  due  to  system restrictions, even for the
superuser)
