And how many of them have ever encountered case-sensitivity as a concept? Do they all manually type-in filenames that they want to open? If so, do they for some reason name their files in all upper-case, but then type in lower-case while opening? Also, are we Microsoft developers? Are we trying to change Windows? And most importantly: How do everyday Windows users have anything to do with PHP developers? Cheers, Andrey.
