It was (and is) hard to describe NTFS as “Unix-like”. Yes, it had
hierarchical directories and long(ish) file names, but not much else.
Drive letters were inherited (indirectly) from DEC OSes, of all things,
along with an insistence on having filename extensions, restrictions on
characters allowed in names etc.
Symlinks were not even added until Windows Vista. And you have to have
special privileges to create them.
