Subject: Idle question?

Does anyone have experience with Win7 and really long file/path
specifications- that is, beyond 254 characters?

The Win32 API  doesn't support longer than that, and I was wondering if it was 
fixed with Win7.

If the problem is fixed for Win7, will I have to move my file server to Win2k8 
to take advantage of the increased length?
