Linux-like hardlink and softlink

I was a Linux user some time back. One of my favorite tools is the ability to create symbolic link (softlink) and hard link. Softlink can be created using ln -s Target Link_Name. The hard link can be created using the same syntax, dropping the -s switch.

In Vista, M$ is introducing the superb tool, but using a slightly different approach. See this link for more info.

Linux manpage for ln can be found here.
