That's only sort-of true.  Windows supports junctions (a specific case of
NTFS reparse points), but they have several severe limitations.  They only
work on directories, and they can't link to filesystem off the current
machine (to a network filesystem).

You can get a utility to manipulate and view NTFS junction points here:

Vista will have much, much better support for symbolic-style links.
