You can not create any folder or file named 'con' because con is the console output device file for the OS . You can not create any folders of files named lpt1, prn, com1,com2 etc because those are the device files for the ports like printer, com ports etc - Simple isn't it?? I am not a Windoz or M$ fan but spreading misinformation, FUD is not what people passionate about FOSS should indulge in. Please verify the facts before making grand announcements.
