this isnt *true* for windows boxes, i know it doesnt matter, but it isnt
an ABSOLUTE.

What's "windows"? :)


On Mac OS X and Solaris and Linux, this rule is true and even on Windows it can actually remember the MixedCase names (even if a long-standing bug in Windows causes it to ignore differences in case :)

If you care about portability - or the possibility of future platform changes, you need to follow the rule. And that's what standards are all about: ensuring portability and platform independence.

Of course, if you're forever wedded to one proprietary platform, you can do what you want with filenames ;)
