I recently had to run Windows Vista (for the only good reason one can
think of: just to play GTA IV :-)
and I was puzzled to see that folder names could not contain (or begin
with) dots. I succesfully copied my .jedit/ and .ssh/ folder from my
/home partition; but whenever I tried to create any other folder
starting with a dot, it refused to do so (it also appears I have no
write access to my own User directory, which does not make any sense,
but that's another story).

Cheers,
Valentin
