True. I guess Windows developers went the extra mile to make things case-insensitive, which is the way it should be, IMO, especially in "public facing applications." I guess Linux kernel developers don't worry about things like that. If they have to deal with case sensitivity, then others should deal with it as well. Or as the saying around here goes:"What is good for the goose is good for the gander."
