Still a lot of restrictions here that would make in Dropbox's shoes circa 2008 not attempt to support them:
1. Kernel driver requirement requires admin rights which hurts installing ability
2. General instability (looks like applications might not respect symlinks right -- e.g. deletes could recursively delete contents within the symlink)
3. Won't work with users running older NTFS or FAT32 (e.g. XP upgrades) -- not sure how common that was in 2008 though.
