I think the format c:\ 'joke' is less a joke for the Windows OS that
were around when the joke started: Windows 98 and earlier. I think the
results would have been different. Windows XP, where the guy did his
comparison, is supposed to be better in this way, no? But non-NT based
Windows versions are probably going to do what the joke implies.

But, still an interesting demo.
