One of the long-awaited features in Windows Vista was the ability to use symbolic links, the way you can in linux. Sadly, they don't work quite as well as they could, but it's a big upgrade from prior versions, and has solved a number of problems for me already.

I know for many of you this is a very simple operation, but I finally realized there's a reason for the confusion users are having. Windows Vista includes a "Share" button on the explorer toolbar, but it doesn't work the way people used to XP/Win2k expect it to. Instead it pops up a wizard to make things "easier".
