It sounds to me like a recipe for disaster. I can think of saveral
situations where you can want discrete copies of files as opposed to
links. If M$'s SIS is going to arbitarily say that because this file is
identical to that file then they should be linked then disaster could
occur.
If M$ want ZAW then they have got to start with a better product in the
first place.
