+1000 on the stupidly long named and repeated folder naming conventions. The fun starts when they copy a file from a short(-ish) path into a longer one and wonder then why they can't open it again.

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?
