This is like seeing those php jokes in programming humor communities. Because they're clearly made by someone who is well over a decade out of date with their information.

For reference symbolic links were properly introduced in Vista(2006), but junction points were available before that.

MS Windows and PHP... yeah I can see the resemblance. They're both crufty old tools that are obsolete for more than a decade but still widely used and talked about.
