If you install Cygwin, you can get real multiple hardlinks in Windows too, 
which work with ordinary Windows programs (like Notepad etc).

Hardlink a.txt to b.txt in Cygwin, and then when you edit a.txt, b.txt changes 
too, but both look link ordinary files to Windows.

It is very cool, and possibly even useful occasionally.  :-)
